2. SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
2.1 Specification
*
The mechanical stop switch should be turned on when the wind speed
upwards 35 mph (16 m/s).
*
Survival wind speed means that the wind turbine will survive at 112
mph (50 m/s) when the mechanical stop switch is turned on.
Exceeding this will result in wind turbine failure and collapse.
2.2 Performance
The following power curve shows the performance you should expect
from your wind turbine. During smooth, steady wind speed, you can
expect to see output resembling the curve illustrated below. To convert
