Calculation of the power generated by a wind turbine:

A wind turbine power curve is represented in a simplified manner by:

ρ=1.225 kg.m-3

a. Calculate the swept area (A) of the turbine such as the power is a continuous function at v=12 m.s-1.

When v= 12 m.s-1, the power delivered by the turbine is equal to 1.5 MW and is also defined by a constant conversion rate Cp=0.37.

e. Show the average wind speed, the most probable wind speed and the most contributing wind speed.

Most probable wind speed equals 0.8 average speed: 6.4 m/s

Most contributing wind speed equals 1.6 average speed: 12.8 m/s

f. What is the probability for the turbine not to producing (v<4 m.s-1 or v> 25 m.s-1)?

Hint:

Probability for vo is

h. What is the annual energy produced when the turbine is at its maximum power (1.5 MW)?

By definition of a PDF:

i. What is the annual energy produced by the turbine when its conversion rate is constant (Cp=0.37)?

Similarly to h, we can calculate the average power generated when the conversion rate of the turbine is constant (4

j. What is the energy generated by the turbine over a year?

From h and I the energy generated by the turbine over the year is:

Energy= 2,238 + 2,806=5,044 MWh

k. What is the capacity factor of the turbine at this site?
By definition:

l. Is this turbine well adapted to the site?

Yes, this turbine is well adapted to the site since it has a capacity factor between 0.35 and 0.40. It combines larger capacity factor which allows a better return on investment and a good average conversion rate which provides a larger amount of energy.
