question 19

Essay

Wind velocities are not constant throughout the day. The daily average power produced by a wind turbine is the power averaged over the wind velocity for the day. Calculate the average power for a turbine with a diameter of $20 \mathrm {~m}$ and an efficiency of $37 \%$ if, during a 24 -hour period, the wind velocity is
- $2 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$ for 4 hours.
- $8 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$ for 16 hours.
- $14 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$ for 3 hours.
- $17 \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$ for 1 hour.
