Q1. A three bladed propeller wind turbine (with 62+ X/10 } m rotor diameter
is installed at the height of 60 m from the ground level. The turbine rotor
moves with a constant speed of {20+ Y/100} rpm. The ratio of drag co-
efficient to lift Coefficient is 0.011. What are the electrical power developed
21 kmph, 27 kmph and 33 kmph if the mechanical efficiency of turbine is
93%. and electrical generator efficiency 97% (X & Y are your and fast friend's
roll number) Plot power Vs Wind speed plot in MATLAB.

Q2. Assume that the annual speed-duration curve of a location can be

expressed in the simple linear form as V = 40 { 1-t/8760} where V is in kmph
at a height of 10m and t is in hours Calculate the energy content anually 8760
in the wind at the location at a height of (20+(x+y)/100)m. Assume the power
law index value to be 0.25. (x&y are same numbers used in previous Q.1).
