4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What causes wind formation?
Think about the sun's role.
What does the Betz limit refer to?
Consider what proportion of energy can be captured.
What is the Coriolis effect responsible for?
Consider how wind moves across the globe.
The Betz limit indicates that a wind turbine can extract up to 35% of wind energy.
Think of the maximum theoretical value.
Calculate the potential energy that can be harnessed by a turbine if the average wind speed is increased from 10 m/s to 12 m/s. Assume the relationship is cubic.
Use the cubic relationship of wind speed to energy.
You are tasked with designing a wind farm layout. Given 10 turbines with a rotor diameter of 80m, what would be the minimum spacing required to minimize wake interference?
Think about how turbines interact with each other in terms of airflow.
