In certain parts of the country, wind farms are a viable alternative to conventional energy sources. An average wind turbine (the device which converts rotational motion to electricity) has a maximum of 2.00 MW. However, realistically the wind turbine never runs at full power. If a wind turbine runs at 32.6% capacity for 1.00 year, how much energy does the wind turbine generate? Number kWh An average American household consumes 1.00x10 kWh in 1.00 year. How many houses can the one wind turbine power? O 5.71 x10 O 100 O 0.00175 O 571 Number of hos.00175 O Previous Gnve Up & View Solution Q) Check Answer Next E lintExplanation / Answer
Energy = efficieny x power x time
= (0.326) (2 x 10^6 W ) (365 x 24 hrs)
= 5.712 x 10^9 Wh
= 5.712 x 10^6 kWh .....Ans
n = (5.712 x 10^6) / (1 x 10^4) = 571 houses .....Ans
