Your Questions About Wind Turbine Efficiency

Ken asks…what level of efficiency does 2 MW wind turbines run at?I need to know what level of efficiency a 2 MW wind turbine runs at? So does it only run at 50% efficiency, making it only produce 1 MW an hour? Thanks everyone!admin answers:For the efficiency calculation the formula Power in wind = (density of air ) x (turbine blade diameter)2 x( velocity of wind)3 x (a constant) Power in wind = d x D2 x v3 x c Notice that the power in the wind depends on the density of the air, the
