Part 3/7:
Interestingly, with an increase in wind speed to 5 meters per second, wind turbine B could produce as much as 9,600 kilowatt-hours. The disparity in output primarily arises from the rotor diameter—a larger rotor aerodynamically captures more wind energy, leading to higher electricity generation.
The Importance of a Complete System
Purchasing a wind turbine involves more than just selecting the unit itself. A proper small wind turbine system comprises multiple components that all contribute to effective operation:
Wind Generator: The core unit that converts wind energy into electrical energy.
Tower: Must be engineered for the specific wind generator to maintain stability.
