What Is the Future of Wind Energy?

What Is Wind Energy? Definition and How It Works

Large wind turbines with blade span diameters of over 100 m are available for electric power generation. Consider a wind turbine with a blade span diameter of 100 m installed at a site subjected to steady winds at 8 m / s. Taking the overall efficiency of the wind turbine to be 32 percent and the air density to be 1.25 kg / m^3, determine the electric power generated by this wind turbine. Also, assuming steady winds of 8 m / s during a 24 -hour period, determine the amount of electric energy and
