2 The Wind Resource Wind is the approximate horizontal movement of air caused by differential heating of the earth s surface Air rises from the warmer surfaces and cooler is drawn in from the surrounding areas.
3 The Wind Resource Wind is affected by topography wind speed is affected by roughness and obstacles such as buildings and hills. Speed increases when approaching the obstacle and decreases and may separate and become turbulent of the downstream side
4 The Wind Resource Wind turbines are often placed near the top of hills and ridges and well away from buildings and other structures
5 The Wind Resource The windiness of a particular site is described in terms of the Annual Average Wind Speed
6 The Wind Resource Wind speed varies with time over several orders of magnitude Rapid fluctuations in wind speed are called turbulence and may increase the structural and dynamic stresses on the wind turbine components Thus it is not desirable to install turbines in areas of high turbulence
7 The Wind Resource Near the earths surface wind speed is reduced by friction Wind turbines operate in the earth s boundary layer The higher the wind turbine tower, the greater the annual average wind speed
8 The Wind Resource Wind speed is related to height by The exponent α depends on the type and roughness of the terrain. For flat land without major obstructions, α = 0.16 and wind speed increase 12% for every doubling of height.
9 Power and Energy in Wind The Kinetic Power in a moving air stream is given by KP = ½ ρav 3 Where KP = Power in Wind, (Watts) ρ = Air density (1.225 kg/m 3 at 15 o C, bar) A= Cross-sectional flow area (m 2 ) V = Wind speed (m/s) Note: Power is proportional to the CUBE of wind speed
10 Power and Energy in Wind Average power is not linearly proportional to the average wind speed! KP ave = 6/π (½ r AV ave 3) The term, 6/π, accounts for the distribution of wind speed, and hence kinetic power with wind with time. Average power is not linearly proportional to the average wind speed e,g., a 10 m/s wind blowing through a 1 m 2 window KP ave = 6/π (½ x 1 x 10 3 ) = 1170 W = 1.17 kw
11 Wind Speed Distributions It is very important to be able to describe the variation of wind speeds. Turbine designers need the information to optimize the design of their turbines, so as to minimize generating costs. Turbine investors need the information to estimate their income from electricity generation.
12 Wind Speed Distributions Weibull Distribution If you measure wind speeds throughout a year, you will notice that in most areas strong gale force winds are rare, while moderate and fresh winds are quite common. The wind variation for a typical site is usually described using the so-called Weibull distribution, as shown in the image. This particular site has a mean wind speed near 7 m/s. The shape of the curve is determined by a so called shape parameter of 2, i.e., k= 2. See
13 Power and Energy in Wind There is an optimum condition where the product of the wind speed and flowrate is maximum. This known as the BETZ LIMIT and is 59.2% of the inflowing kinetic power. On average, good wind turbines extract about half of the theoretical maximum or 30% of the power in the airstream that passes through the rotor, thus P ave = 0.3 x 6/π (½ r AV ave 3) = 0.35 AV ave 3
14 Power and Energy in Wind Turbine output effectively increases as the square of the diameter, e.g., D1 = 25 m, P1= 225 Kw D2 = 50 m, P2=? P2 = (50/25) 2 x P1 = 900 kw Actual turbine output will vary somewhat due to specific design features and turbine performance
15 Power and Energy in Wind Power Example: simplified calculation
16 Power and Energy in Wind Energy Example: Simplified Calculation i.e., for the above example the annual energy output would be 650 MWh/y sufficient for 80 homes
17 Wind Turbines Vertical Axis Horizontal Axis Eole C, a 4200 kw Vertical axis Darrieus wind turbine with 100 m rotor diameter at Cap Chat, Québec, Canada. The machine (which is the world's largest wind turbine) is no longer operational.
18 Wind Turbine Selection Rotor diameters may vary somewhat for a given power, because many manufacturers optimize their machines to local wind conditions. A larger generator requires more power (i.e., stronger winds) to start. So if you install a wind turbine in a low wind area you will actually maximize annual output by using a fairly small generator for a given rotor size (or a larger rotor size for a given generator). For example, for a 600 kw machine, rotor diameters may vary from 39 to 48 m (128 to 157 ft.) The reason why you may get more output from a relatively smaller generator in a low wind area is that the turbine will be running more hours during the year (i.e., higher capacity factor).
19 Wind Turbine Selection Reasons for Choosing Large Turbines There are economies of scale in wind turbines, i.e. larger machines are usually able to deliver electricity at a lower cost than smaller machines. The cost of foundations, road building, electrical grid connection, plus a number of components in the turbine (the electronic control system etc.), are somewhat independent of the size of the machine. Larger machines are particularly well suited for offshore wind power. The cost of foundations does not rise in proportion to the size of the machine, and maintenance costs are largely independent of the size of the machine. In areas where it is difficult to find sites for more than a single turbine, a large turbine with a tall tower uses the existing wind resource more efficiently. Large machines, however, will usually have a much lower rotational speed than small machines, i.e., one large machine really does not attract as much attention as many small, fast moving rotors.
20 Wind Turbine Selection Reasons for Choosing Smaller Turbines Local electrical grids may be too weak to handle the output from a large machine. This may be the case in remote parts of the electrical grid with low population density and little electricity consumption in the area. There is less fluctuation in the electricity output from a wind park consisting of a number of smaller machines, since wind fluctuations occur randomly, and therefore tend to cancel out. Costs for large cranes and building adequate roads to carry the turbine components may make smaller machines more economic in some areas. Several smaller machines spread the risk in case of temporary machine failure, e.g., due to lightning strikes. Aesthetic landscape considerations may sometimes dictate the use of smaller machines.
21 Turbine Performance: The Power Curve The power curve of a wind turbine indicates the electrical power output for the turbine at different wind speeds. The graph shows a power curve for a typical 600 kw wind turbine. Power curves are found by field measurements of power output versus wind speed. An anemometer is placed on a mast reasonably close to the wind turbine to measure the wind speed.
22 Turbine Efficiency (Power Coefficient) The power coefficient tells you how efficiently a turbine converts the energy in the wind to electricity. Very simply, we just divide the electrical power output by the wind energy input to measure how efficient a wind turbine is. The graph shows a power coefficient curve for a typical wind turbine. The average efficiency is about 20 per cent. It varies with the wind speed, but is largest at around 9 m/s. At low wind speeds efficiency is not as important because there is not much energy to harvest. By design, at high wind speeds, the turbine wastes excess energy above the generator rating.
23 Actual performance The power output of a particular wind turbine will be significantly lower than the available wind due to Betz Law and turbine efficiency. As well, the turbine may not operate all the time, further reducing the annual energy delivered.
24 Annual Performance The performance of a particular wind turbine will be a function of the conditions and design features previously described. The graph opposite shows the expected annual output versus wind speed for different values of the Weibull function, k. This function describes the distribution of the wind velocities at a particular site.

27 Turbine Loading Rapid fluctuations in wind speed are called turbulence and may increase the structural and dynamic stresses on the wind turbine components
28 Speed and Power Output Control Wind turbines are therefore generally designed so that they yield maximum output at wind speeds around 15 m/s. Its does not pay to design turbines that maximize their output at stronger winds, because such strong winds are rare. In case of stronger winds it is necessary to waste part of the excess energy of the wind in order to avoid damaging the wind turbine. All wind turbines are therefore designed with some sort of power control.
29 Speed and Power Output Control Pitch Controlled Wind Turbines On a pitch controlled wind turbine the turbine's electronic controller checks the power output of the turbine several times per second. When the power output becomes too high, it sends an order to the blade pitch mechanism which immediately pitches (turns) the rotor blades slightly out of the wind. Conversely, the blades are turned back into the wind whenever the wind drops again. The pitch mechanism is usually operated using hydraulics. Stall Controlled Wind Turbines (Passive) stall controlled wind turbines have the rotor blades bolted onto the hub at a fixed angle. The geometry of the rotor blade profile is aerodynamically designed to ensure that as wind speed becomes too high, it creates turbulence on the leeward side of the rotor blade. Stall control avoids moving parts in the rotor, and a complex control system but is a complex aerodynamic design problem. It introduces design challenges in the structural dynamics of the whole wind turbine, e.g. to avoid stall-induced vibrations.
30 Wind Parks As a rule of thumb, turbines in wind parks are usually spaced somewhere between 5 and 9 rotor diameters apart in the prevailing wind direction, and between 3 and 5 diameters apart in the direction perpendicular to the prevailing winds.

50 Canadian Wind Power (Data source: Canada is now the ninth largest producer of wind energy in the world with current installed capacity at 6,500 MW representing about 3 per cent of Canada s total electricity demand. In 2012, wind energy grew by nearly 20 per cent in Canada with the addition of 936 MW driving over $2 billion in investments and creating 10,500 person-years of employment. (
51 Wind Energy in Ontario Ontario is at the forefront of wind energy in Canada, with more than 1,700 MW of wind generation capacity connected to the province's power grid. As system operator, the IESO plays a fundamental role in helping bring wind projects into service and ensuring that Ontario's power system can effectively support increased levels of wind generation. An estimated 2,400 megawatts (MW) of embedded solar and wind generation are expected to be in service by Feb 2015.
