  1. Wind Power APES 2009-10

  2. 1. What makes a good wind power site? • Powering a Nation – Roping the Wind

  3. 2. The Power of the Wind: Cube of Wind Speed

  4. Wind Speed Data • WindNavigatorhttp://navigator.awstruewind.com/

  5. Wind Speed vs. Wind Power Density • Wind speed alone may not be a reliable indicator of the annual average wind power density. • Actual wind power density, which is based on the frequency distribution of the wind speeds, can be substantially different for the locations with the same measured wind speed, such that each location has a different wind power class.

  6. Wind Power Density • http://rredc.nrel.gov/wind/pubs/atlas/tables/1-1T.html

  7. Height of the Turbine • Wind speed increases with height above ground: • Use this calculator to determine wind speed at turbine height • http://guidedtour.windpower.org/en/tour/wres/calculat.htm

  8. How do you “see” the wind? • Making a wind rose • http://guidedtour.windpower.org/en/tour/wres/roseplot.htm

  9. Rotating Building
