Question
• A generator driven by a wind turbine is required to deliver 1.5MW of power at the generator
terminals. The turbine is a two-blade propeller rotating about a horizontal axis. The rotor is
designed to operate at a rotational speed of 22 rpm.
• If the turbine delivers its rated power at a wind average speed of 22 mph,
Calculate the corresponding diameter of the propeller and its TSR, assuming a typical value of
0.35 for the overall efficiency. The air density may be assumed to have a value 1.29 kg/m³.
