A horizontal axis wind turbine has a rotor diameter of 76 m and reaches its full load output at the generator terminals of 2 MW at a wind speed of 12 m/s. The overall efficiency of the gearbox and generator is 94 %. Assume the density of air is 1.2 kg/m3 and calculate the power coefficient (Cp) of the aerodynamic rotor [6]
