What Is Wind Turbine Power?
Wind turbine power is the electrical power a turbine generates from the wind. It depends on the cube of the wind speed and the blade sweep area.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
P = ½ × ρ × A × v³ × Cp
ρ: air density (≈1,225), A: sweep area, v: wind speed, Cp: efficiency.
- Enter the blade diameter and wind speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to power when wind speed doubles?
Since power is proportional to the cube of the speed, doubling the speed increases power eightfold.
