The kinetic energy is given by :

                                                    =\ \frac{1}{2}mv^2

or                                                =\ \frac{1}{2}\ \rho Avt\ v^2

or                                              =\ \frac{1}{2}\ \rho At\ v^3

Thus the kinetic energy of wind is      \frac{1}{2}\ \rho At\ v^3  J.
