3Aims for Today
- Course Evaluations 
- The Power System of the Future 
- Able to handle a myriad of distributed resources 
- Power in the Wind 
- PV potential 
- Your ideas 
- My ideas
4Wind Turbines
- Wind energy is proportional to V3, Why?
5Simple Rule of Thumb
- Annual Energy (kWh)  1.64 D2 V3 
- D  rotor diameter, meters 
- V  annual average wind speed (m/sec)
6 Wind Turbine types
- VAWT 
- HAWT downwind 
- HAWT upwind, requires yaw control
7Power in the Wind 
 8Why using average wind speed is a poor 
approximation of site potential
- Lets use our new equation to consider the 
 following
- What is energy in 200 hours of 7m/s wind? 
- Compare with energy in 100 hours of 4m/s and 100 
 hours at 10m/s
- (NOTE both average 7m/s)?
9Power in the Wind 
 10Impact of Tower Height 
 11Example
- If you have anemometer data from a 10-m tower (6 
 m/s ave.) across a surface of crops, hedges, and
 shrubs and want to estimate how much higher the
 wind is at 40 meters, how do you do it?
12solution 
 13Max theoretical rotor efficiency
- Max theoretical is called Betz efficiency 
- For typical turbines this is 59 
- Under ideal conditions todays turbines can 
 achieve 80 of the max theoretical
- So many turbines range between 45-50
14Rayleigh Probability Density Function
- With wind we typically do not have a normal 
 distribution.
- A Weibull or Rayleigh p.d.f. is much more common, 
 we will learn the Rayleigh a form of Wiebull when
 k2. (see below)
15Rayleigh Probability Density Function
- With the assumption of a Rayleigh distribution we 
 have a very powerful analytical tool.
- To calculate the number of hours in a given year 
 we will experience wind above or below a certain
 level the process is quite simple
16Example
- If we have a site where the wind speed (average) 
 is 7 m/s and we assume a Rayleigh distribution,
 how many hours per year will the wind speed be
 less than 4 m/s (the cut in velocity for an NEG
 micon 1000/54 wind turbine)?
17Solution
- How many hours per year will the wind speed be 
 less than 4 m/s?
18Solution
- How many hours per year will the wind speed be 
 less than 4 m/s?
- 0.2262 x 8760  1982 hours
19Using this and a WT Power Spec
- Combining these two we can predict effectively 
 the power generated at any given site
20Rayleigh PDF and Power Curve
- 1) build a spreadsheet 
- 2) calculate hours at each speed (see below). 
- 3) use manufacturers data for turbine generation 
 at each wind speed
- 4) estimate annual generation

 26Wind Turbines 
 27Wind Turbines
- A wind turbine obtains its power input by 
 converting the force of the wind into a torque
 acting on the rotor blades.
- The amount of energy which the wind transfers to 
 the rotor depends on the density of the air, the
 rotor area, and the wind speed.
28Wind Turbines
- A wind turbine will deflect the wind before it 
 even reaches the rotor plane which means that all
 of the energy in the wind cannot be captured
 using a wind turbine.
29Wind Turbine Energy
- The annual energy delivered by a wind turbine can 
 be estimated by using the equation
 The cost of electricity will vary with wind 
speed. The higher the average wind speed, the 
greater the amount of energy, and the lower the 
cost of electricity 
 30Wind Power Classifications 
 31Delaware Bay / Coastal Wind Speeds
- Areas along shore or in mountains may be ideal 
 for wind power
- Wind speeds as low as 
- 4.5 -5.5 m/s 
-  for res farms/comm 
- gt6.0 m/s can be used 
-  for power farms 
- At 6.5 m/s, electricity can be below 
-  0.07/kWh
