Wind Turbine Calculator

Wind power scales with the cube of wind speed — doubling wind speed = 8× the power.

What this calculator does

Power = 0.5 × ρ × A × v³ × efficiency. Where ρ=air density, A=swept area, v=wind speed.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does a wind turbine produce?

A 2MW turbine at 40% capacity factor produces ~7,000 MWh/year, powering ~650 US homes.
