Field Measurements on the CWD (Consultancy Services Wind Energy Developing Countries) 5001 Performed in the Period May 18-December 18, 1985

摘要

CWD, Consulting Services Wind Energy for Developing Countries, tries to help governments, institutes and private parties in the third world with their efforts to use wind energy and, in general, to promote interest in wind energy in third world countries. Special attention is given to mechanically driven water-pumping windmills. In an early phase of the project, the need was felt for a testing facility for full-scale water-pumping windmills. In Eindhoven, a test field was established. Its main objective is testing and improving newly designed windmills, as well as developing testing procedures. The report describes the results of the measurements performed on the water-pumping windmill, the CWD 5001, in the period 85-05-18 to 85-09-01.
