How do I calculate the power of a generator in terms of speed?

In summary, the formula for calculating the power of a generator in terms of speed is P = N x T, where P is power in watts, N is speed in RPM, and T is torque in Nm. Any consistent unit of speed can be used in the calculation, as long as torque is measured in Nm and power is calculated in watts. To convert from RPM to m/s, multiply the RPM value by the circumference of the generator's rotor in meters. Torque is a crucial factor in the power calculation and must be known. It is also important to factor in the efficiency of the generator, as it affects the overall power output.

Hi, here I am again. This is also related to my previous threads. My question is: How do I calculate the power of generator in terms of speed(rpm) from a drive system (such as belt and chain drives)?

Power = torque times RPM. Be careful with the units.
