LECTURE #24 - 4  WIND TURBINE POWER RATING
Channel: USMAN JAVAID
Date: 2022-11-16

How do you compute a wind turbine's power rating?
Capacity factor = actual output/maximum feasible output is the formula. The greatest achievable output of a wind turbine would be capacity x 8760 hr (there are 8760 hrs in a year). So the maximum production for the North wind 100C is: 95 kW x 8760 hr/yr = 832,200 kWh/yr (or 832.2 MWh).

A wind turbine with a rotor diameter of 52 metres has a maximum power output of 800 kW, while a turbine with a rotor diameter of 82 metres has a maximum power output of 2.5 to 3 MW.
