Part 4/9:
Understanding the technicalities of wind turbines is crucial for prospective buyers. Wind energy generation hinges on several factors, including the turbine’s size, the wind speed, and the theoretical power coefficient of the turbine. The relationship between these variables is not linear; increasing the radius of the turbine can exponentially increase the power produced while wind speed plays a pivotal role in determining power output.
For instance, doubling the wind speed can lead to an eight-fold increase in energy generation. Consequently, procuring a turbine with a significant swept area and installing it at a higher elevation can optimize your energy generation capacity.
