Question

consider a wind turbine that is rated at 1.5 megawatts per hour. This means that with sufficiently hugh winds, it will produce 1.5 megawatts of power. If this wind turbine runs at its rated power of 100% of the time for a full year, how much energy would it produce in a year?

Answer 1

13 Gigawatts and 140 megawatts

Step-by-step explanation:

1 common year = 365 days = (365 days) × (24 hours/day)

= 8760 hours

1.5 × 8760 = 13140
