In this lesson, we''ll go over some of the basics of wind and microhydroelectric
Theoretically power in moving air - or wind - can be calculated
A = wind mill area perpendicular to the wind (m2)
Be aware that the density of air decreases with temperature and altitude and that the major factor in wind power generation is wind speed .
The theoretical and rated wind power generation from a typical windmill is indicated in the "wind speed-power curve" below. Cut-in wind speed, rated wind speed, shut-down wind speed and rated power for windmills with 20% and 40% efficiency.
Actual available wind power can be calculated
- free apps for offline use on mobile devices.
The calculator below can be used to calculate the available power from a windmill:
The energy generated over time depends on the wind mill potential power generation (as indicated above) - and how often, or how many hours the wind blows - or more scientifically - the "wind speed frequency distribution" at the actual location.
The total energy generated over a year can be calculated by summarizing the power generation for all velocities (ranging from the actual windmill cut-in speed to the shut-down speed) multiplied with the no. of hours the wind blows at the actual speeds.
A typical wind speed frequency distribution diagram with energy produced at the different velocities is indicated below.
