Question

Wind farms are a source of renewable energy found around the world. If a turbine generates 500kW in a 10m/s wind, how much power does it generate in a 12m/s wind?

Answer 1

Wind farms are composed of tens of wind mills that us electric generator to harness the power of the wind. The power that comes out of the electric generators should be proportional with the force or the wind which is also proportional to the speed of the wind. Considering that a 10 m/s generates 500 kW, than a 12 m/s wind should generate somewhere around 600 kW.
