1. The recorded wind speeds of a wind site are one-third of the year is at 15 mph, one-sixth

of the year is at 25 mph and the one-half of the year is at 20 mph. Determine the annual

average speed at this location. If the diameter of the wind turbine is 50 ft and annual

average power coefficient is 0.35, determine the amount power can be generated per year.

If the utility can pay $0.1 /kwh and the overall operating hours is about 2500 hours per

year and the wind turbine cost $45,000 with 30% tax incentive, how long will the system

be payback? (Air density = 0.0763 lb/ft3

At wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec significant sand-moving events begin to occur. In particular, wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. The cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large sand dunes. At one test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change. However, the speed did change. Sixty wind speed readings gave an average speed of 1075 cm/sec. From long term experience, it can be assumed that =265...
