Question 12

Essay

Wind velocities are not constant throughout the day. The daily average power produced by a wind turbine is the power averaged over the wind velocity for the day. Calculate the average power for a turbine with a diameter of 20 m20 \mathrm {~m} and an efficiency of 37%37 \% if, during a 24 -hour period, the wind velocity is
- 2 m/s2 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } for 4 hours.
- 8 m/s8 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s } for 16 hours.
