Question by R.: A small isolated farm uses a windmill and a gas generator?
A small isolated farm uses a windmill and a gas generator tor power. During a 10 day period, they produced 3010kW/h of power, with the windmill operating at 45% of capacity and the generator at capacity. During the following 10 day period, they produced 2900kW/h with the windmill at 72% of capacity and the generator down 60 hours for repair (at capacity otherwise). what is the capacity (in kW) of each?
yes, I meant 3010 kW-h. Thanks.

  1. Thee is no such thing as “kW/h”. Do you mean 3010 kW-h, which is a unit of energy, not power?
    60 hours / 10 days = 60 hours/240 hours = 1/4 = 0.25

    3010 kW-h x 1 day/24 hr / 10d = 12.54 kW over 10 days
    2900 kW-h x 1 day/24 hr / 10d = 12.08 kW over 10 days

    0.45W + G = 12.54 kW
    0.72W + 0.25G = 12.08 kW

    45W + 100G = 1254
    72W + 25G = 1208
    –288W – 100G = –4832
    243W = 3578
    W = 14.72 kW

    72(14.72) + 25G = 1208
    25G = 147
    G = 5.91 kW

    but chck the arith.
