In this week’s Wind Study, you get to play the role of wind turbine manufacturer!
When planning a Wind for Industry project, One Energy tells the customer how much of their facility’s power will likely be produced by the wind turbines we install at their location. To do this, we use what’s called the turbine power curve. Power curves are governed by the design of the turbine and are provided by its manufacturer.
As the manufacturer of this fictional wind turbine, we need YOU to plot the power curve on the graph provided in today’s homework. Then use the accompanying equation to calculate the power produced at a given wind speed.
