A two-bladed horizontal axis wind generator has a 30 m blade length. At an 8.8 m/s wind speed, this particular turbine generates 421 kW with a 35% efficiency (i.e., Cp = 0.35). What is the most power a hypothetical turbine could generate at this wind speed? Assume that the density of air is 1.25 kg per cubic meter.
Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE.
A 6-MW offshore wind turbine has a capacity factor of 40%. It has a height of 120 m, and 107-m long blades. The angular acceleration is 1.17 rad/s2. Assume that the distance from the center of the turbine to the connection with the blade is negligible, and that the turbine starts from rest. At t = 12 s, calculate the velocity and the acceleration for points (a) at half the length and (b) at the tip of the blade.
Calculate the blade length of a wind turbine rotor which produces a maximum power of 4 MW at a wind speed
of 48 Km/Hr. Use air density as 1.23 Kg/m³, generator efficiency as 94%, gear box efficiency as 0.76 and power
coefficient of blades as 0.33.
