Title: Correlate wind power, speed, and the electrical output of a wind-turbine system.
Course: Renewable Energy (17105) > Section: Determining Requirements for Installing Wind Power Systems

Correlation should include

- wind power
- wind speed
- energy
- capacity factor
- power curve
- power equation.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the practical limit of how much of the wind’s energy can be captured?
- How does wind speed correlate to the electrical output of a wind turbine?
- How can one use the manufacturer’s power curve to determine the potential power output of a wind turbine?
- What is the capacity factor? What is the realistic range of capacity factors for utility-scale wind turbines?
- What is the power equation?
- What variables are needed to calculate potential power from a wind turbine?
