1 Show that wind power density, proportional to the cube of the wind speed 4 CT, MRET-17,
Set-B
2 Percentage frequency distribution of hourly wind speed (m/s) is given in table for, May at a 3 CT, MRET-17,
site. If the air density is 1.20 kg/m 3 for the site and for a wind turbine the cut-in speed is Set-B
4m/s, the design speed is 10m/s and cut-out speed is 25m/s. calculate the actual energy

3 The annual Mean wind speeds measured at 50 and 70 m.a.g.l. (metre above ground level) 3 CT, MRET-17,
are 6.8 m/s and 7.3 m/s respective. Displacement height of the site is 3m. What is the mean Set-B
wind speed at 60m hub height?

4 What is speed up effect on a long and gentle ridge? 3 CT, MRET-17,

Set-B
5 What is wake effect? What are the values of downwind spacing and crossword spacing with 2+1 CT, MRET-17,
respect to the diameter of wind turbine rotor for an onshore wind farm to avoid the loss due Set-B
to this effect?

6 Write the two parameter probability density function of the general Weibull distribution. 2+2 CT, MRET-17,
Describe the preference of the values of the parameters. Set-B

7 How surface roughness length can be measured for roughness elements of various sizes and CT, MRET-17,
lengths? Set-A
8 Why engineers generally prefer offshore for wind farm than onshore? CT, MRET-17,
Set-A
9 Small bushes are evenly distributed across a land area of 5000m 2, the average height of CT, MRET-17,
each bush is approximately 50 cm and its width is roughly 1 m. There are about 500 such Set-A
bushes in the entire area. Due to summer, the bushes are well foliaged and therefore have a
porosity of 20%. What is the estimated roughness length of the land area?

10 The annual mean wind speeds measured at 50 and 70 m.a.g.l. (metre above ground Level) CT, MRET-17,
are 6.8 m/s and 7.3m/s respectively. Displacement height of the site is 3m. What is the Set-A
mean wind speed at 60m hub height?
