What is Rotar Radius?


The Rotor Radius is the distance from the center of a wind turbine’s rotor (hub) to the tip of one of its blades. It defines the rotor's swept area, which is crucial in determining the amount of wind energy the turbine can capture. A larger rotor radius allows for a greater swept area, increasing the potential energy that can be converted into electricity.
