Abstract
The wind farm is a collection of all wind turbine generators situated at a particular distance. The wind speed and wind direction play an important role in wind farm power calculation. The power curve of the wind farm is not simply the summation of the wind turbine’s power curve. It is complex due to the intermittent nature of wind speed and its direction. The power curve is obtained from the data taking the wind speed and wind power at that speed. There are many logistic functions used in the literature to analyze the wind power curve that helps to calculate wind farm power output and energy generated. In this paper, the 3-parameter deterministic process (3P-DP) method is used for wind power curve calculation. The wake effect is analyzed by Jensen’s model with wind speed and wind direction. The wind farm power is obtained from the new proposed formula and compared with the already existing one. The results are verified from real data obtained from the literature.
期刊介绍:
Having been in continuous publication since 1977, Wind Engineering is the oldest and most authoritative English language journal devoted entirely to the technology of wind energy. Under the direction of a distinguished editor and editorial board, Wind Engineering appears bimonthly with fully refereed contributions from active figures in the field, book notices, and summaries of the more interesting papers from other sources. Papers are published in Wind Engineering on: the aerodynamics of rotors and blades; machine subsystems and components; design; test programmes; power generation and transmission; measuring and recording techniques; installations and applications; and economic, environmental and legal aspects.
