Question
A propeller type wind turbine has following data:
Speed of free wind at a height of $10\text{ m} = 12\text{ m/s}$, Air density $= 1.226\text{ kg/m}^3$, $\alpha = 0.14$, height of tower $= 100\text{ m}$, diameter of rotor $= 80\text{ m}$, wind velocity at the turbine reduces by $20\%$, generator efficiency $= 85\%$.
Find:
i. Total power available in wind.
ii. Power extracted by the turbine
iii. Electrical power generated
iv. Axial thrust on the turbine
v. Maximum axial thrust on the turbine
