8. Based on average speed data only, estimate the annual energy production from a
horizontal axis wind turbine with a 12 m diameter operating in a wind regime with an
average wind speed of 8 m/s. Assume that the wind turbine is operating under
standard atmospheric conditions (ρ = 1.225 kg/m3. Assume a turbine efficiency of
0.4.
9. A 40 m diameter, three bladed wind turbine produces 700 kW at a wind speed (hub

a) The rotational speed (rpm) of the rotor at a tip-speed ratio of 5.0.
b) What is the tip-speed (m/s)?
c) If the generator turns at 1800 rpm, what gear ratio is needed to match the rotor speed to
the generator speed.
d) What is the efficiency of the wind turbine system (including blades, transmission, shafts,
and generator) under these conditions?
