Importance of Wind SpeedImportance of Wind Speed• No other factor is more No other factor is more
important to the important to the amount of power amount of power available in the wind available in the wind than the speed of the than the speed of the windwind
• Power is a cubic Power is a cubic function of wind speedfunction of wind speed– VV X X VV X X VV
• 20% increase in wind 20% increase in wind speed means 73% more speed means 73% more powerpower
• Doubling wind speed Doubling wind speed means 8 times more means 8 times more powerpower
