Enter the total power generated by the wind turbine per day (kWh), the price of electricity ($/kWh), and the daily cost of the wind turbine ($) into the calculator to determine the Wind Turbine Profit.

## Wind Turbine Profit Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Wind Turbine Profit.

WTP = (P*EP) - DC
• Where WTP is the Wind Turbine Profit ($/day) • P is the total power generated by the wind turbine per day (kWh) • EP is the price of electricity ($/kWh)
• DC is the daily cost of the wind turbine ($) To calculate the wind turbine profit, multiply the daily power generated by the price of electricity, then subtract the daily cost of the turbine. ## How to Calculate Wind Turbine Profit? The following example problems outline how to calculate Wind Turbine Profit. Example Problem #1 1. First, determine the total power generated by the wind turbine per day (kWh). In this example, the total power generated by the wind turbine per day (kWh) is given as 1500 . 2. Next, determine the price of electricity ($/kWh). For this problem, the price of electricity ($/kWh) is given as 1.25 . 3. Next, determine the daily cost of the wind turbine ($). In this case, the daily cost of the wind turbine ($) is found to be 300. 4. Finally, calculate the Wind Turbine Profit using the formula above: WTP = (P*EP) – DC Inserting the values from above yields: WTP = (1500*1.25) – 300 = 1575 ($/day)

Example Problem #2

The variables needed for this problem are provided below:

total power generated by the wind turbine per day (kWh) = 1600

price of electricity ($/kWh) = .86 daily cost of the wind turbine ($) = 400

Entering these values and solving gives:

WTP = (1600*.86) – 400 = 976 (\$/day)
