Description: | Turbine Blade Radius |
Generator Turbine Blade Radius is used for modelling a Wind Turbine and is the key property for enabling the modelling of a Wind Turbine power curve, using Wind Speed data from the Weather Station connected to the Generator's Node.
The Wind Turbines power curve is calculated as P = 0.5 * A * CP *v3, where:
P: is the power output in watts
A: is the swept area of the turbine blades in m2
CP: is the Wind Power Coefficient
v: is the Wind Speed
