###### Question:

1. Average US energy consumption rate is 4.4*10^9 MWh. Suppose you are involved in project to establish a wind farm called "The great western wind farm" which will supply all the electrical energy need of US per year. The individual wind turbine units that would be used are rated at 2 MW, have a rotor with a 100 m diameter, and will be spaced 3 diameters side to side, 10 diameters front to rear which would result in the giant contiguous wind farm. Each turbine will have an annual average capacity factor of 25%. Now calculate the area required for each turbine (in mile), the total area needed for the farm (in mile), yearly energy output by individual turbine (kWh/yr), total number of units needed for the farm. Compare the farm area with the area of state of Missouri, and comment on if this type of project is feasible. (Points 4+4+4+4+4 = 20) Soln.
