Question

A wind turbine has a capacity of 3 MW. Assuming the turbine operates at 50 percent of its capacity all day and every day for a week, calculate how many kWh of electricity
the wind turbine will produce by the end of the week. Show your work

Answer 1

Answer:

Total production of wind turbine in a week = 10.5 MW per week

Explanation:

Given:

Per day turbine capacity = 3 MW

Capacity operate = 50%

Find:

Total production of wind turbine in a week

Computation:

Per day production of wind turbine = Per day turbine capacity x Capacity operate

Per day production of wind turbine = 3 x 50%

Per day production of wind turbine = 3 x 0.50

Per day production of wind turbine = 1.5 MW

Number of days in a week = 7 days

Total production of wind turbine in a week = Per day production of wind turbine x of days in a week

Total production of wind turbine in a week = 1.5 x 7

Total production of wind turbine in a week = 10.5 MW per week

Answer 2

The quantity of electricity  (in kilowatt-hour) that would be produced by the wind turbine at the end of the week is 252 kWh.

Given the following data:

• Power = 3 Megawatts.

• Operating capacity = 50 percent per day = 0.5.

To calculate the quantity of electricity  (in kilowatt-hour) that would be produced by the wind turbine at the end of the week:

How to calculate the quantity of electricity.

Mathematically, the quantity of electricity  produced by the wind turbine per day is given by this :

$P = Power \times operating \;capacity\\\\P=3 \times 0.5$

P = 1.5 Megawatts.

Next, we would calculate the total quantity of electricity  (in kilowatt-hour) produced by the wind turbine per week:

Note:

7 days = 1 week.

1 day = 24 hours.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

$Total\;power = 1.5 \times 7 \times 24$

Total power = 252 kWh.
