PROBLEM 1 - A 6-MW offshore wind turbine has a capacity factor of . It has a height of 120 , and 107-m long blades. The angular acceleration is . Assume that the distance from the center of the turbine to the connection with the blade is negligible, and that the turbine starts from rest. At , calculate the magnitudes of the velocity and the acceleration for points (a) at half the length and (b) at the tip of the blade.
Expert Answer
Given data Length of the blade angular acceleration is Angular velocity and acceleration at The half length of the blade is (a) The angular velocity after 12 seconds can be determined as, The velocity at the half length of the blade can be determined as, The tangential acceleration can be determined as,
