Answer #1

We have power output of wind turbine is given by P

=P=\frac{\rho *C_{p}*U^{3}*\pi *d^{2}}{8}   

on substitutng the given values we will get ρ*0.275 * 173 * π * 602 2 10 1.0470kg/m

    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.

    QUESTION 5 A wind turbine is operating in a wind of 10 m/s - that has a density of 1.2 kg/m3. The diameter of the windmill is 4 m. The constant pressure_ (atmospheric) streamline passing the turbine blade tip has a diameter of 3 m upstream of the wind turbine and 4.5 downstream. Assume that the velocity distributions are uniform and the air is incompressible. Determine the thrust due to the wind on the wind turbine. (5 marks)
