Consider a 64 m, 1.5 MW wind turbine located at a site with Rayleigh winds averaging 7.5 m/s.
a. Using the simple capacity factor correlation, estimate the annual energy delivery.
b. Suppose the total installed cost of the wind turbine is $1.5 million ($1/Watt) and its annual cost is based on the equivalent of a 20-year, 6% loan to cover the capital costs. In addition, assume an annual O&M cost equal to 1% of the annual cost. What would be the cost of electricity from this turbine ($/kWh)?
c. If turbines are installed with a density corresponding to 4D Ã 7D separations (where D is rotor diameter), what would the annual payment be per acre?Â
