V2=V1(h2/h1)α
So if the height of the tower increase the velocity of the wind will increase and the result
of this situation the power will also increase
Power from wind:
Kinetic energy of a portion of the flowing air of mass ρ m is and the rate of
energy flow (i.e. power) P for the whole flow is
Power= 1/2 m V2
Power= ½ρav3
Where:-
P is power in watts (W)
ρ is the air density in kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m³)
A is the swept rotor area in square metres (m²)
