  for a wind energy project consisting of nine 500 kW wind turbines represents a total installed capacity of 4.5 MW. This medium-scale wind farm is suitable for small communities, industrial applications, or grid-connected renewable energy projects. Key Details: Total Capacity: 4.5 MW (9 turbines x 500 kW each). Annual Energy Output: Approximately 10–18 million kWh/year (depending on the site's wind conditions and capacity factor). Land Requirement: Requires around 20–40 hectares, depending on the spacing between turbines (typically 5–7 times the rotor diameter). Grid Connection: Includes step-up transformers to integrate the generated power into the local grid at higher voltage levels. Turbine Configuration: Rotor diameter: 40–50 meters. Hub height: 40–60 meters. Cut-in wind speed: ~3 m/s. Cut-out wind speed: ~20 m/s. Environmental Benefits: Offsets ~13,500–18,000 metric tons of CO2 annually compared to coal-fired electricity. Provides clean energy for approximately 2,700–3,600 households. Applications: This project could support rural electrification, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and serve as a model for community-based renewable energy development.
