Your Questions About Wind Turbine Efficiency
Robert asks…Wind turbine efficiency question?A wind turbine and its environment can be described by the following:
air density at sea level = 1kg/m3
radius of wind turbine disc = 50 m
wind turbine efficiency = 75% of the Betz limit
a. What is the wind turbine efficiency? (is this just 75%(16/27)...since that is 75% of bertz limit
b. Calculate the power in megawatts for a wind speed of 15 m/s for the above turbine. What is the side force on the wind turbine at 15
