Energy statistics for large wind turbine arrays. Annual progress report, May 1, 1977-April 30, 1978

Wind energy statistics of large arrays of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) have been studied in four regions of the country: the New England and Central United States regions (Justus, 1976) and the Great Lakes and Pacific Coast regions (Justus and Hargraves, 1977a). Results obtained from multir...

Description
Summary:Wind energy statistics of large arrays of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) have been studied in four regions of the country: the New England and Central United States regions (Justus, 1976) and the Great Lakes and Pacific Coast regions (Justus and Hargraves, 1977a). Results obtained from multiregional arrays of selected sites from these four previously studied regions are presented. The purpose of these multiregional analyses has been to investigate the upper limits of wind diversity benefit by studying large spatial areas to aid in determining if power might be produced by WECS in areas of high wind potential and transmitted over long distances to areas of high demand, and to use data from all four of the individual regions in developing and refining a generic methodology with which array statistical properties may be simulated adequately with simple averages or single-site input information.
