When the site is chosen, it is proposed that three-blade type wind turbines are installed, which can generate for a wind velocity range from 3.00 m s1 to 12.0 m s1. The turbine blades are 75.0 m in length, the power coefficient is 0.540, and the average air density is 1.21 kg m3. Site WT1 can accommodate three wind turbines, whereas Site WT2 can accommodate six wind turbines. It is estimated that the turbines can operate for 82.0% of the time at Site WT1, and 85.0% of the time at Site WT2. Based upon your answers to Part (a) of this question, estimate the maximum energy that could be extracted annually from the wind at Sites WT1 and WT2. Assume one year is approximately 3.1536 x 107 s S.

What is the maximum power generated by the wind farm with wind speed of 4 m/s? Typical wind turbines have rotor diameters from 40 m to 90 m (Assume increment of 5 m for this problem)-40 m is 80% efficient and efficiency decreases by 5% for every 5 m increase in diameter (i.e. 45 m=75%, 50=70...)-The ridge is 10 km long and wind turbines will be spaced in a single row. •Power in the wind per unit area of circular area is 1/2ρv3W/m2 (v is the wind speed, ρ is 1.3 kg/m3 for air) •Wind turbines cannot be spaced closer than 5 times its diameter without loosing power also there are no partial turbines.

5. The wind variation for a typical site is described using Weibull distribution. Consider a case where the annual mean wind speed is 6 meters/second at 30 meters in height, and the Weibull distribution factor k=2. Discretize this in 1.5 m/s increments and predict the number of hours per year for the range of wind speeds that would be expected.
