Mean Chord of Blades given Solidity of Wind Machine Formula

Mean Chord of Blades = (Solidity of Wind Machine*pi*Rotor Radius)/Number of Blades in Wind turbine
c = (ɣ*pi*R)/N

What is the effect of solidity on the performance of wind turbine?

As the solidity of turbine increases the rotor shaft torque also increases. This is because the more area of rotor strikes with wind. By increasing the turbine solidity; it increases the static torque coefficient.
