Methods for Calculating the Efficiency of Wind Turbines in the Physics Curriculum

Abstract

This article discusses the methodology for calculating the aerodynamic characteristics and technical-economic indicators of prospective wind power installations in teaching 11th-grade physics. The introduction of engineering analysis methods into the school curriculum allows students to gain a deeper understanding of physical phenomena related to aerodynamics and wind energy, as well as highlights the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in solving contemporary energy issues. The use of such methodologies enhances students' interest in science and technology, develops their analytical thinking skills, and fosters an understanding of the practical application of physical laws in real life.
