The equation used to calculate wind turbine power is: Power (W) = 0. 5 × ϱ × πr² × Cp × CF × v³ where ϱ is wind density in kg/m³, πr² is the swept area of the turbine, Cp is the power coefficient, CF is the capacity factor and v is the velocity of the wind in m/s.

Utilising electricity from solar and wind in a grid becomes problematical at high levels for complex but now well-demonstrated reasons. Supply does not correspond with demand. Back-up generating capacity is required due to the intermittent nature of solar and wind.
