Wind turbine capital investment analysis Central Plains Power Company is considering an investment in wind farm technology to reduce its use of natural gas. Initial installation costs are expected to be $1,200 per kilowatt-hour of capacity. The wind turbine has a capacity of generating 2 megawatts per hour. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts generated per hour and a megawatt hour is 1,000 kilowatts generated per hour. Annual operating information related to the wind turbine project was developed as follows: Wind...

There is a wind turbine that has three propeller blades (can be approximated as thin rods) that are 10.0kg in mass and 4.00m in length. The generator is not hooked up, so the blades can move freely. This means the only torque on the blades comes from the wind. The wind starts up and the blades go from rest to 3.00rad/s. a. What is the angular acceleration of the turbine blades? b. What is the moment of inertia (I) of...
