A wind turbine has a capacity of 3 MW. Assuming the turbine operates at 50 percent of its capacity all day and every day for a week, calculate how many kWh of electricity the wind turbine will produce by the end of the week. Show your work

Total production of wind turbine in a week = 10.5 MW per week

Explanation:

Given:

Per day turbine capacity = 3 MW

Capacity operate = 50%

Find:

Total production of wind turbine in a week

Computation:

Per day production of wind turbine = Per day turbine capacity x Capacity operate

Per day production of wind turbine = 3 x 50%

Per day production of wind turbine = 3 x 0.50

Per day production of wind turbine = 1.5 MW

Number of days in a week = 7 days

Total production of wind turbine in a week = Per day production of wind turbine x of days in a week

Total production of wind turbine in a week = 1.5 x 7

Total production of wind turbine in a week = 10.5 MW per week
