In some places wind turbines are a viable alternative to conventional sources of electricity. They vary in size according to the application, but one type has a maximum power rating of 2.00 MW. Wind turbines rarely run at full power. If this wind turbine runs, on average, at 25.6% of its maximum rate for one year, how much energy does the wind turbine generate?
In one part of the country an average household consumes 8300 kW·h of electrical energy in one year. For how many of these households can the one wind turbine provide electrical energy?

There is a rural community with 8000 households. The community has a power plant that uses fossil fuel with a capacity of producing 20,000 megawatts (MW) and the average energy consumption per house of 10,000 kilowatts (kWh) throughout each year. With this scheme the residents pay 9 dolars per hour each kWh. Some investors have proposed to the community to look for alternative sources of energy, and for that they propose the installation of 10 wind turbines. Each of these...

3. To avoid flow interactions, turbines must be placed at reasonable distances apart. In one farm layout, the towers are spaced 3 rotor diameters apart in the direction perpendicular to the wind, while they are 6 rotor diameters apart parallel to the wind: 6D Hub height-D A utility company is proposing to develop the largest wind farm in the world, which would exceed the Alta Wind Energy Center capacity of 1548 MW The farm will use turbines with a 90-m...

. A typical commercial wind turbine costs approximately $2 million per MW of installed power and requires 5.76 TJ per million dollars of energy to manufacture the wind turbine. (a) Calculate the amount of energy that is consumed (i.e. energy invested) in the manufacture ofa 1.5 MW wind turbine, assuming that turbine manufacture requires 5.76 TJ per million dollars spent. (TJ Tera-joules 1012 joules) (b) If the wind turbine has blades that are 40 meters (radius) long and the average...
