A Large wind turbine has blade span diameters of 110 m. It sits high off the ground where the average wind speed is 7 m/s. Assume the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3, and the efficiency of the wind turbine, its generator and its electric grid synchronization device is 26%. What is the average electric power that this turbine can output to the grid?
