Electric power for a Wind Turbine Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Electric_power_windturbine = Shaft Power*Efficiency_Generator*Efficiency of transmission
P_e = W_shaft*η_g*η
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Shaft Power - Shaft Power is the mechanical power transmitted from one rotating element of a vehicle, ship, and all types of machinery to another. (Measured in Watt)
Efficiency_Generator- Efficiency_Generator is the ratio of the electrical power output to the mechanical power input.
Efficiency of transmission- Efficiency of transmission is the ratio of output of transmission to input of transmission.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shaft Power: 628.3185 Watt --> 628.3185 Watt No Conversion Required
Efficiency_Generator: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Efficiency of transmission: 0.48 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_e = W_shaft*η_g*η --> 628.3185*0.8*0.48

Evaluating ... ...

P_e = 241.274304

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

241.274304 Watt -->0.241274304 Kilowatt (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.241274304 Kilowatt <-- Electric_power_windturbine
