Question:
A typical wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind that blows through the area swept by the blades. For a large turbine, 110,000 kg of air moves past the blades at 15 m/s every second. If the wind turbine extracts 40% of this kinetic energy, and if 80% of this energy is converted to electric energy, what is the power output of the generator?
