Consider a 1 MW, 50 m diameter horizontal axis, fixed wind turbine operating at a wind speed of 12 m/s. 3 blades mounted on a cast iron hub drive a generator through a gearbox of overall ratio 1:50. The induction generated is connected directly to the 60 Hz network and keeps the high speed shaft at 1500 RPM. Ignoring all other loses, calculate CP, lamda, rotor tip speed, and torque on low and high sides of the shaft.
