Wind energy potential assessment in order to produce electrical energy for case study in Divandareh, Iran
2014
This paper evaluates the electricity production at Divandareh, a place located at Kurdistan, Iran through wind energy assessment using wind data of the site recorded in duration of a year at three different heights of 10, 30 and 50 meters. For this purpose, a statistical analysis of the measured wind data is performed. According to the US standards, the site is found to be a class-3 wind power site with power density of 336.18 W/m2 at 50 m height. Moreover, dominant flow direction of wind is checked through wind rose plotting. It has been shown that the site is suitable for wind energy development by installing wind turbines with tall towers. Thereupon, four different commercial wind turbin…
Energy and economic assessment of a small domestic wind turbine in Palermo
2016
The cost effectiveness of micro-wind technology is closely linked to the annual energy production plants, which strongly depends on the wind characteristics and on the morphological properties of the installation site. The power curve of a wind turbine, supplied by manufacturers, characterizes the theoretical energy performance that it should have at a particular site. The behavior of a wind turbine in the field is affected by the speed but also by wind direction variations. At each change of direction and speed, the turbine will try to adapt to new conditions and the phase transition negatively influences the energy production. In order to experimentally confirm what above mentioned, the a…
