Question

If the variation in wind speed with height is well approximated with a power law wind profile having an exponent equal to 0.15, how much stronger is the wind at 100 m above ground than at 10 m?

Answer 1

For wind turbine engineering, a polynomial variation in wind speed with height can be defined relative to wind measured at a reference height of 10 meters as: ... = velocity of the wind [m/s], at height. = velocity of the wind [m/s], at height = 10 meters.
