THE APPLICATION OF WIND POWER SYSTEMS TO THE SERVICE AREA OF THE MINNESOTA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY Final Report Period July 1975 - August 1976

摘要

Honeywell, in a joint effort with Minnesota Power and Light Company (MP&L), Boeing Vertol Company, and Dr. C. G. Justus, Georgia Institute of Technology, has conducted a regional application study of wind energy sys¬tems.nProof of economic viability is needed to justify the capital investment to build a practical Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). The objectives of Honeywell's study have been to assess current WECS viability for a utility application and to define the attributes and performance requirements of a system capable of yielding a satisfactory return on investment to a utility company. Minnesota Power and Light Company, an investor-owned company with 853-MW owned capacity, has served as the case study subject utility.
