SU LMS

Objectives:

To enumerate the main sources of wind and study the differences in wind velocity profile between onshore & offshore wind
To analyze some theoretical aspects of wind power generation
To study and understand the different operational regimes of a wind turbine, to quantify the dependency of the power produced with the wind speed, and to define & explain the notion of capacity factor
To compute the energy yield of a wind turbine based on its power curve and the wind characteristics, and to understand the concept of velocity deficit and its impact on wind farm layout
To understand how the energy captured from the wind is converted into electrical energy and fed into the electric power system
