1. Suppose an anemometer mounted at a height of 10 m on a level
field with tall grass shows an average windspeed of 6 m/s. a.
Assuming Rayleigh statistics and standard conditions (150C and 1
atm), estimate the average wind power (W/m2 ) at a height of 80 m.
b. Suppose a 1300 kW wind turbine with 60 m rotor diameter is
located in those 80 m winds. Estimate the annual energy delivered
(kWh/yr) if you assume the turbine has overall efficiency of 30%.
c. What would the turbine’s capacity factor be?
