Rated Output Power (ROP):-
rotor diameter changes the ROP.
RPM :- larger dia reduces rotor RPM.
Capacity Factor ( CF):- higher capacity factor means higher AEO, but practically CF never goes beyond 40
Q) Does wind speed affect AEO?
Surprisingly the answer is NO !
This is because AEO is calculated upon average wind speed, which is already accounted for in CF.
Maximum Tip Speed that can be obtained is 70-80 m/s.
Cut in wind speed for most of the turbines is 5 m/s and cut out is 25 m/s
O & M costs can be taken as 8 % of annual gross revenue.
