by reducing the speed of an air mass, wind power is converted into mechanical energy to reduce the wind speed to zero, obviously would mean maximum power (hypothesis!) not possible - since stopping an air flow completely at one given spot (rotor) violates the law of energy continuity question: at what speed reduction the maximum wind power can be extracted? answer was given by Betz and Glauert 1926 by a simple calculation

Continuity

assumption: homogeneous air flow product of density, velocity and area is constant according to continuity v 1A 1 = v 2 A 2 = v 3 A 3

J J
this means that a theoretical maximum of 59.3 % of the power in the wind can be extracted in practice, modern electricity producing wind turbines reach efficiencies of more than 50 % in maximum

cp- value
J J
The cp-value is the efficiency of power production by wind turbines cp gives the relation between power in the wind (Pwind) to the mechanical power extracted by the turbine rotor (Pturbine): P c p = Turbine PWind Usually cp electric is used to indicated the total efficiency of power production by a wind turbine, referring to the electrical output of the wind turbine generator (Pelectric):
c p electric =

Pwind is proportional to the air density , area A and the third power of the wind velocity v the power output of a WTG follows up to a wind speed of approx. 12 m/s wind speed the v energy curve then the power limitation comes into action, to prevent the generator from overload

Practical consequences
J J
first of all, the power in the wind is proportional to the third power of wind speed this has important practical implications
X calculating or estimating the power output of turbines
output
X ability to withstand gusts is of primary importance for
turbines
J
with around 60 % maximum efficiency, wind turbine compare favourably with other energy conversion systems
X diesel generator:

the power output of a wind system is proportional to the air density thus the power varies
X with temperature: low temperatures result in more power X with altitude: high altitudes reduce power output

Interpretation
J J J
obviously, at complete standstill ( = 0) the power is zero also, when the the blade-tip speed is equal to wind speed ( = 1) the maximum power coefficient of cp max = 0.16 occurs at opt = 0.33, when the blade tip moves at 1/3 of the wind speed meaning that only 16 % of the wind power can be extracted

Drag devices

all early wind power systems were drag devices using the force acing on an area perpendicular to the wind direction drag is proportional to the area a, air density and the square of rotor speed

J J
drag devices operate at tip speed ratios < 1, i. e. at tip speeds below wind speeds the power coefficient cp of drag devices is below 0.2, i. e. the maximum efficiency is 20 % with only 1/3 of the theoretical maximum (Betz: 59.3 %), drag devices are not suitable for electricity generation due to their simple construction, drag devices can be used for low power pumping needs etc. however, contemporary use of drag devices is practically non-existent

Lift devices
J
many bodies have not only a drag force component, but also a lift force L, perpendicular to the flow
L attacks at about of the chord length c, as long as the angel of attack is small (< 10 ), thus: cL = f()
