Wind Speed Height Adjustment Calculator vs Wind Turbine Power Output Calculator
Two calculators for the same neighbourhood of questions. Here is what each measures, what you feed in, and where you'd reach for one over the other.
Wind Speed Height Adjustment Calculator
Convert a wind speed measured at one height to the equivalent wind speed at a different height using the power-law (Hellmann) model. Essential for projecting met-mast or weather-station readings up to turbine hub height.
- Answers
- Adjusted Wind Speed (m/s)
- Inputs
- Known Wind Speed, Known Height, Target Height, Power Law Exponent
Wind Turbine Power Output Calculator
Estimate the electrical power a wind turbine produces from its rotor diameter, the wind speed, and its overall efficiency. Use it for early-stage siting decisions and to compare turbine models before going to full energy-yield software.
- Answers
- Power Output (kW)
- Inputs
- Wind Speed, Rotor Diameter, Turbine Efficiency
