Question 4

A prototype tidal energy harvester converts kinetic energy from ocean currents into electrical energy.

The moving water delivers a total of 22500 kJ of kinetic energy to the harvester's turbine blades every 1.25 minutes1.25\text{ minutes}1.25 minutes.

The overall efficiency of the harvester in converting this kinetic energy into electrical power is 0.32 (32%).

Calculate the useful electrical power output of the harvester.

Give your answer in kW.
