Wind Turbine Power

A wind turbine is a device that converts the wind's kinetic energy into electrical energy.

The turbine power equals the product of half the turbine area, the wind velocity cubed, the turbine efficiency and the air density.

Formula

QuantityVariable["P", "Power"] == (QuantityVariable["A", "Area"]*QuantityVariable["V", "Speed"]^3*QuantityVariable["μ", "Unitless"]*QuantityVariable["ρ", "MassDensity"])/2

symbol description physical quantity
P turbine power "Power"
A turbine area "Area"
V wind velocity "Speed"
μ turbine efficiency "Unitless"
ρ air density "MassDensity"
