Hello Everyone,

I have to find out the output of an equation using the
MATLAB. But found some errors. If any one knows the
correct
steps of this equation, please help me&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;
N
My equation is&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.. WPD = [(1/2)*&#961;*&#8721; ((Ui) ^3)]


i=1


Here Ui is the individual wind speeds.
N=4320;
&#929; =1.225;
WPD is the Wind Power Density.


Hope I will get a correct choice for this equation.

what did you try that you don't think work. if i am
reading your equation properly this is what i think...

assuming U(1:N) is your wind speed i would use:

WPD = .5*P*sum(U(1:N).^3)

note the '.' before the ^ to cube the individual elements
of U before summing.

i don't know exactly what your WPD is supposed to
represent, but somehow summing a bunch of cubed wind
speeds seems to be missing something. Is this then
multiplied by some area that the wind was measured over?
i would kind of expect a 1/N factor in there somewhere to
average the cubed speeds over all measurements or
something like that... otherwise the WPD would just keep
increasing with the number of samples which doesn't make
sense unless there are more to the calculations than what
you show.
