There is a wind turbine close to Lubbock. The turbine capacity is 3 MW, the rotor diameter is 90 meter, and tower height is 110 meter. The Cp is 43.7%.The local met tower has 3 cup anemometer at 10 meter height. The yearly average wind speed at 10 m is 6.1 m/s. How much energy can you produce with the given turbine setup in 3 years at hub height in Lubbock? (Answer in MW)

For an offshore wind farm, a tower is built on the sea floor at a depth of 50m and it rises 30m above the still water level (SWL). Sustained wind in that location is 10 m/s. Ocean wave parameters are: T = 7s and H=3m. Consider the tower as cylindrical and its diameter = 0.75m. Consider wave effect and wind driven current for the submerged portion of the tower, and wind alone above SWL. a) Calculate the total force exerted...

A 3 phase alternator derived by wind Turbine is designed to generate a maximum of 400kw at wind speed of 15 m/s. The internal generated voltage of the alternator at rated rotor speed is Eo= 480 v/phase, and the synchronous reactance of the alternator is 1.0 ohm. The output of the alternator is connected to an infinite busbar of 420 v/phase through transmission lines that have reactance of 10 ohm per phase. Draw the per phase equivalent circuit of the...
