Average power
Example 6.9
Find the average windspeed and the average power in the wind
(W/m2). Assume the standard air density of 1.225 kg/m3. Compare
the result with that which would be obtained if the average power
were miscalculated using just the average windspeed.
Solution:
For 805 h/yr at 8 m/s
Average value of v3
Example 6.10
Estimate the average power in the wind at a height of 50 m when
the windspeed at 10 m averages 6 m/s. Assume Rayleigh
statistics, a standard friction coefficient = 1/7, and standard air
density = 1.225 kg/m3.
Solution
Rayleigh p.d.f
