A wind turbine located at a height of 25m from ground, produces 950 kW. Its hub diameter negligible in comparison with length of the blade. Calculate the length of the blade. The average wind velocity is 15 m/s and wind density is 1.25 kg/m3.Gear box efficiency as 85%, Generator efficiency as 75% and Transmission efficiency as 80%. The value of Cp=0.29 and it is a horizontal type of wind turbine.
