How to estimate the energy of a wind turbine?

October 10th, 2009

wwelect2391 asked:


How to estimate the energy of wind turbine?
how do i estimate the annual energy output of a 5kw wind turbine in an area which has a average wind speed of 7.4m/s at 10m above ground level, and the rated wind speed of the turbine is 10m/s. there is no buildins around to interfear with the wind and the hub of turbine is 12m above ground level. and could you show me the formula for this sum.

How does a wind turbine convert the wind into energy we can you use?

October 6th, 2009

iLuvJoBros asked:


I’m doing a science project with my best friend, and we want to see if we can convert wave energy into the kind of energy we can use, like a wind turbine. So, we want to know how a wind turbine can convert the wind into energy, then we can do the same with the wave energy. PLEASE help.

Why does wind energy originally come from the sun?

Click asked:


I have a science text book and it talks about wind energy. It asks the question “Why does this energy originally come from the sun?” And I’ve been trying to find the answer for ages!

What is the potential use of wind energy?

October 5th, 2009

Ostara asked:


I’m having trouble finding this answer on the internet: partly because I’m kind of confused what I’m supposed to answer…
Could you quickly explain it, give a good and easily understandable website (or just answer the question all together). Just so you know: it has to be the potential use of wind energy for the World and not the US.
Thank you so much!
