Large Wind Turbine Generator Performance Assessment. Technology Status Report No. 3. Interim Report

摘要

This report presents a summary of recent test data and experience from large wind turbine (WT) development and test programs funded by both the Federal Government and private enterprises. The data presented are current as of October 1980. Detailed summaries of test results are presented for the US Department of Energy's 200-kW MOD-0A horizontal-axis WTs that have been interconnected with electric utilities at various locations around the United States. A description of the progress and experiences with both the MOD-1 1.5-MW WT and the cluster of three MOD-2 2.5-MW WTs is also presented, along with a summary of plans for the DOE vertical-axis wind turbine program. A brief summary of Danish large WT programs is also provided. (ERA citation 06:030427)
