Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. A 6-MW offshore wind turbine has a capacity factor of 40%. It has a height of 120 m, and 107-m long blades. The angular acceleration is 1.17 rad/s2. Assume that the distance from the center of the turbine to the connection with the blade is negligible, and that the turbine starts from rest. At t = 12 s, calculate the velocity and the acceleration for points (a) at half the length and (b) at the tip of the blade.
Calculate the power available in the wind and the rotor power when the blade length for the turbine is given 42 m and the wind speed is 11 m/s. The power coefficient of blades is 0.4, generator efficiency is 85 % while gear box efficiency is 0.8, air density is 1.225 kg/m³. Power available in the wind Power available in the rotor
f) Which pitch angle would produce the greatest output from the wind turbine? 1- 15° 2- 30° 3- 45° 4- 60°
