A wind turbine is located in an area with air density of approximately 1.2 kg/m3 and the wind is blowing at 10 m/s.
Cp = - 0.1 TSR2 + 0.4 TSR - 0.05
Find the maximum wind power density the turbines can capture.
Given datas :
Air density, = 1.2 kg/m3
wind speed, v = 10 m/s
So, wind power density,
or, (ANS)
Now we know,
Cp = (Power captured by the wind turbine) / (Wind power density)
So,
(Cp)max = (Maximum power captured by the wind turbine) / (Wind power density)
Let, Tip seed ratio, TSR = x
Given:
or,
For (Cp)max ,
or, x = 2
Hence (Cp)max
As (Cp)max = (Maximum power captured by the wind turbine) / (Wind power density)
or, Maximum power captured by the wind turbine = 0.35 * Wind power density = 0.35*600 = 210 watts/m2(ANS)
