You have a wind turbine with a maximum power rating of 5 MW available for use in a wind farm. This turbine can operate in winds ranging from a minimum speed of 2 m/s up to a maximum wind speed of 10 m/s (which is when the turbine produces its maximum power). You have two possible sites available: the first site has a steady wind that always blows at 6 m/s. At the second site, the wind blows at 1 m/s for 50% of the time, and at 10 m/s for the other 50% of the time. a lf maximizing the peak power production is the most important consideration, which site should you choose? What will be the maximum power for a single turbine? b. If maximizing the average power production is the most important consideration, which site should you choose? What would be this average power for a single turbine?
