Wind Energy Statistics for Large Arrays of Wind Turbines. Annual Progress Report, 1 May 1976--31 December 1976

摘要

In a manner similar to the anlysis of arrays of wind turbines in New England and the Central U.S. (ERDA/NSF-00547/76/1), array analyses are being done for the Great Lakes Area, and for the Pacific Coast. In addition to the types of data computed for the New England and Central U.S. arrays (time autocorrelations, spatial cross correlations, mean wind turbine power by season, output power probability distributions, and speed and power run time probabilities), additional analyses of wind speed and power by time of day and wind speed versus heating or cooling degree days are also being done. Also power output corrections for density mean wind speed gusts, rms direction fluctuations and for vertical shear are being incorporated, as described in subsequent sections of this report. As examples of the array analysis, results from the Great Lakes array for 1971 are presented. (ERA citation 02:048274)
