ground
a. Low efficiency (only one blade works at a time)b. May need wires to supportc. More turbulent flow near ground

Power generated:
Large wind turbine: 2-3 MW
Per year, at 25% capacity factor, it will generate:
2 × 106 × 0.25 × 3600 × 24 × 365 = 1.6 × 1013 𝐽
Therefore, 500 exa joules will require:
Τ500 × 1018 1.6 × 1013 = 31 × 106
31 Million wind turbines

Space requirement:
Rule of thumb is 7 times diameter of windmill
Approximately 500 m from other turbines
Each 2 MW turbine needs approximately 0.5 square km
Therefore 15.5 million square km needed to power the world!
1.5 times Size of China or USA

Performance Characteristics:
Tip speed ratio: Ratio of rotational speed of blade to wind speed. Maximum of 10 for lift type blades
Cut in speed: Minimum wind speed at which the blades will turn. 10 km/h to 16 km/h
Rated speed: The wind speed at which the windmill generates its rated power. Usually it levels off in power beyond this speed. Around 40 km/h
Cut out speed: Usually at wind speeds above 70 km/h, the windmill is stopped to prevent damage

Gearbox:
▪ Connects the shaft from the blades to the generator
▪ Low RPM of blades to high RPM of generator
▪ Gearless (direct drive) designs considered. More magnets required for desired frequency. Neodymium (rare earth) required goes up by a factor of 10. Heavier.

Conclusions:
1) Lift based design more efficient than drag based design
2) For power generation, rpm is important, and even one blade may be sufficient. For other mechanical purposes, torque is important and multiple blades may be desirable
3) Interesting alternate designs are available for wind energy capture
