Formula is an ESTIMATION! Not all KE of wind is transformed into mechanical energy Wind speed varies over course of year Density of air varies with temperature Wind not always directed at 90 to blades

Energy Loss Speed of air cannot drop to zero after impact with blades. Frictional losses in generator and turbulence around blades.

Location of Wind Turbines Turbines must not be placed close to one another. a) Less KE available for next turbine b) Turbulence reduces efficiency of next turbine

Example Question: A wind turbine has a rotor diameter of 40 m and the speed of the wind is 25 m/s on a day when the air density is 1.3 kg/m3. Calculate the power that could be produced if the turbine is 30% efficient.

Example: A wind generator is being used to power a solar heater pump. If the power of the solar heater pump is 0.50 kW, the average local wind speed is 8.0 m/s and the average density pf air is 1.1 kg/m3, deduce whether it would be possible to power the pump using the wind generator.
