Mechanical Engineering

A potential wind turbine location has an average wind speed of 5m/s at a height of 10 m.

A) Assuming a standard wind friction coefficient of 1/7, what isthe average wind power per area at the proposed tower height of 80m?

B) If the proposed turbine has a cut-in speed of 4 m/s and afurling speed of 20 m/s, how many hours per year is the windmillnot spinning (assuming Rayleigh statistics)?

C) Estimate the yearly power output (in MWh) for a turbine witha 100 m diameter and a generator rate at 2500 kW.
