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.

As wind flows across the turbine's rotor blades, which function similarly to airplane wings, it creates an aerodynamic force that turns the blades. This motion spins a rotor connected to a generator that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, allowing us to power homes and.
