A parametric model for wind turbine power curves incorporating environmental conditions

Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article.

High-resolution large-scale onshore wind energy assessments: A review of potential definitions, methodologies and future research needs

“…Refs. [51,160]) based on turbine specifications such as the specific power. This can help with future-focused studies, as power curves for next-generation turbines typically only become available after they have been operational for some time.…”

Parametric study of a horizontal axis wind turbine with similar characteristics to those of the Villonaco wind power plant

“…The rotation velocity and the calculated power coefficient correspond to that obtained for a variable velocity turbine according to the studies carried out by Lanzafame & Messina (2010) and Saint-Drenan et al (2019).…”

On the socio-technical potential for onshore wind in Europe: A response to Enevoldsen et al. (2019), Energy Policy, 132, 1092-1100

“…A simulation using the WTPC model (Saint-Drenan et al 2019) shows that the Envision 4.5-148 would yield a capacity factor of 26.1% for a location in central Germany, compared to 17.5% for a more average turbine with 380 W/m 2 specific power. Scaling this result to the whole of Europe would imply an energy potential one-third lower than given by Enevoldsen et al (2019).…”
