WIND ENERGY STATISTICS FOR LARGE ARRAYS OF WIND TURBINES (GREAT LAKES AND PACIFIC COAST REGIONS) Annual Progress Report

摘要

In an earlier study the wind and wind power statistics of large arrays of wind turbines in the New England and Central U.S. Regions were examined. This report examines arrays of simulated 0.5 MW, 1.5 MW and 2.0 MW wind turbines in the Great Lakes and Pacific Coast Regions. As with the earlier study, the parameters analyzed are:basic wind statistics, time and spatial correlations, mean wind power output, wind power frequency (availability without storage), and run duration of wind speed and array power (probabilities of wind and power lulls of various duration, without storage).
