Wind Energy and Power Calculations. Print. The power in the wind is given by the following equation: Power (W) = 1/2 x ρ x A x v 3. Power = Watts. ρ (rho, a Greek letter) = density of the air in kg/m 3. A = crosssectional area of the wind in m 2. v = velocity of the wind in m/s. Thus, the power available to a wind turbine is based on the ...
