The science · wind power and hub height

Wind speed generally increases with height above open terrain. The cubic relationship means a modest speed increase can produce a much larger idealised power increase.
Hub height76 m
Wind at hub10.4 m/s
Swept area2,290 m²
Estimated electrical power— kW
Equations, assumptions & simplifications

v(h) = v₁₀ × (h / 10 m)^α
Power-law wind profile; α = 0.14 is an approximate open-meadow shear exponent.

Pₑ = ½ ρ A v³ Cₚ η, where A = π(D/2)².
Uses air density ρ = 1.225 kg/m³, assumed power coefficient Cₚ = 0.38, generator efficiency η = 0.92 and each turbine's nominal rotor diameter.

Limitations: steady, horizontally uniform wind; no turbulence, wake losses, direction changes, blade pitch control, cut-in/cut-out behaviour or rated-power clipping. This is an educational estimate, not a forecast or engineering yield calculation.
