A large commercial wind turbine has a blade span of 100 m and tower (4 m diameter uniform) height of 150 m high (hub height above the ground). If the combined turbine-generator efficiency of 40%, wind speed of 15 km/h and the air density 1.2 kg/m3 (disregard frictional effects on the mast) determine the following:a) Electrical power generated by the turbine (in MW).b) Total horizontal force (kN) exerted by the wind on the supporting mast of the turbine and the distance (m) of this resultant force from the ground. Assume uniform tower diameter throughout the height.c) What will be the electrical power generated (in MW) when the wind speed is 30 km/h

you are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in the Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter; the sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m; and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. What is the theoretical power output of the turbine assuming 100% efficiency of operation? Your answer must be in kW and in two decimal places with correct signs.

Design head at China’s Three Gorges Dam, the largest hydropower project in the world, is 80.6 m, and rated power output of each of the 32 turbine generator units is 700 MW. If the efficiency of each of the turbine generator units at full power output is 93.2%, what is the design flow through each turbine?
