Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A wind farm plans to place 12 turbines. If the rotor diameter is 100 meters, calculate the total distance between each turbine if they want to adhere to spacing guidelines.
💡 Hint: Consider how many gaps there are between the turbines.
Evaluate the long-term financial impacts if a developer ignores spacing guidelines and places turbines 300 meters apart instead of the recommended 500 meters. What should they analyze?
💡 Hint: Think about how tighter spacing affects turbine operation.
