Question
b) By considering the development of a wind farm consisting of 10-m diameter wind turbines with efficiencies
of 45%, evaluate the average output power in kW per km2 if the wind blows at the average velocity of 7 m/s by
considering that the air density, p is equal to 0.602 kg/m³.
Noted that the average spacing of the wind turbines downwind will be 5 times the rotor diameter and the
crosswind spacing will be 5 times the rotor diameter.
