Static Stability

How much energy content is in the wind and how much power a wind turbine can generate from a given wind speed can be explained by the following formula So, the power generated by a wind turbine depends upon air density, rotor disc area, and wind speed. Usually, we consider air density as constant thus…

As far as I have seen, the blades of all Danish wind turbines run in the same direction, i.e. clockwise. Is there a technical reason for that? The short answer is: No, it is not the wind’s fault, and no, there is no technical reason for all blades to rotate the same way. It looks…
