Betz Method

The Betz Method is a technique used to measure wind speed and analyze wind turbine performance. It involves positioning a specialized anemometer, called a Pitot tube, into the wind flow to accurately gauge wind velocity. This data helps assess how efficiently a turbine is converting wind energy into electricity. The method considers factors like wind speed variations and airflow patterns to optimize turbine placement and operation. Overall, it’s a precise way to evaluate wind conditions, ensuring turbines operate at their best and maximize energy output while minimizing mechanical stress.
