6. You are required to design a 3-blade wind turbine that operates at wind speeds between 5 m/s and 15 m/s. The turbine should maintain a power coefficient of 0.55 throughout this range with a constant tip speed ratio of 8. The wind turbine blades each has a length of 45m and an area of 20 m². If the generator has an efficiency of 80%, determine a) The electrical output power and generator speed in RPM at both wind speed points. [6 marks] [2 marks] b) The solidity of the turbine c) The actual power produced over one year, if the capacity of the wind turbine is 35%. [2 marks]
