A potential wind turbine location has an average wind speed of 5 m/s at a height of 10 m.

A) Assuming a standard wind friction coefficient of 1/7, what is the average wind power per area at the proposed tower height of 80 m?

B) If the proposed turbine has a cut-in speed of 4 m/s and a furling speed of 20 m/s, how many hours per year is the windmill not spinning (assuming Rayleigh statistics)?

C) Estimate the yearly power output (in MWh) for a turbine with a 100 m diameter and a generator rate at 2500 kW.

The wind speed in Laramie, Wyoming is normally distributed. The average wind speed for the state of Wyoming is approximately 20 mph. A curious student wanted to find out if the wind speed in Laramie was different than the state average. They took a sample of 25 random days in Laramie, measured the wind speed, and found an average of 18 mph with a standard deviation of 7.8 miles per hour. Test the claim that the average wind speed in...
