Exploring Wind Power on Campus: Research and Impact**

Since Fall 2007, the Wind Power on Campus initiative has engaged society groups in testing and comparing wind energy systems. Focus areas include "wind funneling," rooftop conditions, and commercial turbine performance. Key to the project is identifying variables such as wind speed, air density, and the coefficient of performance (Cp). Data collection efforts have involved analyzing wind resource maps of Western New York.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Wind Power on Campus

  2. Overview • Started Fall of 2007 with Impact on Society Groups • Testing and comparing: • “Wind Funneling” • Roof top conditions • Commercial turbines

  3. The Process • Identify variables (P = 0.5 x ρ x Cp x A x V3) • Dependant on cubed wind speed! • Cp = Coefficient of performance • (Betz limit is theoretical max) • Identify Resources • WNY Wind map • Go get the data for the specific locations

  4. Two Groups Data Collection Turbine Design

  5. Results: Design

  6. Sample Data Some times you get: Good Not so good…

  7. Analysis: Data

  8. Analysis: Data

  9. Results of Analysis

  10. Where can you find data and more information • Email dsnitzer@buffalo.edu • www.wings.buffalo.edu/~dsnitzer/wind
