They are designed to achieve maximum efficiency at a particular speed. The fixed speed wind turbine features simple structure‚ low cost and reliable operation. However‚ it has a lower energy conversion efficiency compared to a variable speed wind turbine since it can extract maximum power only at one given wind speed [3]. The fixed speed WECS starts to produce power when the wind speed is higher than the cut-in speed (3-4 m/s). At a speed higher

processing department were 25% complete with respect to the conversion costs of the final processing department. If this estimate of the percentage completion is used‚ what would be the cost of goods sold for the year? Since 270‚000 units were transferred in the processing department and 250‚000 were completed and sold‚ this leaves 20‚000 units left in the ending inventory. Of the 20‚000 units left in inventory‚ 25% of the conversion cost required to complete the units had already been incurred

Boo hoo – Learning from the largest European dot-com failure Context “Unless we raise $20 million by midnight‚ boo.com is dead”. So said boo.com CEO Ernst Malmsten‚ on May 18th 2000. Half the investment was raised‚ but this was too little‚ too late‚ and at midnight‚ less than a year after its launch‚ Boo.com closed. The headlines in the Financial Times‚ the next day read: “Boo.com collapses as Investors refuse funds. Online Sports retailer becomes Europe’s first big Internet casualty”. The boo
