Wind turbine power output depends on wind speed, blade area, and efficiency. Power increases with the cube of wind speed.

सूत्र

Calculate: P = 0.5 × ρ × A × v³ × C_p
P
0 — 0
A
swept area — swept area

चरण-दर-चरण मार्गदर्शिका

  1. 1Calculate: P = 0.5 × ρ × A × v³ × C_p
  2. 2ρ = air density (≈1.225 kg/m³), A = swept area, v = wind speed, C_p = efficiency (~0.35-0.45)
  3. 3Typical 2-5 MW turbine: 5-15 GWh/year depending on wind resource

हल किए गए उदाहरण

इनपुट
100 m rotor (7850 m² area), average wind 10 m/s, C_p=0.4
परिणाम
Average power ≈ 1.9 MW
Typical utility turbine

सामान्य गलतियां जिनसे बचना है

  • Using peak power output instead of average capacity factor
  • Neglecting wake effects between turbines

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

Why is wind speed raised to the third power?

Power proportional to kinetic energy (½mv²) and flow rate; combined gives v³ dependence.

How much area does a wind turbine need?

Large utility turbines need 2-5 acres minimum spacing; smaller residential turbines 0.5 acres.
