PROBLEMS
1. Estimate the difference in the amount of material in the rotor for a giromill and a Savonius
rotor with H 10 m, D 10 m.
2. A wind turbine is rated at 300 kW. Estimate annual energy production using the genera-
tor size method.
3. For a 1.5 MW wind turbine, estimate the annual energy production for a good site using
the generator size method.
4. For a conventional HAWT, radius of 50 m, estimate annual energy output for a good wind
region (use class 4, 5, or 6) from U.S. wind power map.
5. For a Darrieus unit, 34 m diameter by 42.5 m height, estimate annual energy output for
two different regions from European wind map.
6. For a giromill, H 10 m, D 12 m, estimate annual energy output for two different
regions from U.S. wind power map.
7. From manufacturer's curve (use
Figure 5.16
)
for annual energy, estimate the annual
energy production for a region where the average wind speed is 9 m/s.
