Betz’s Law describes the maximum power that a wind turbine can extract from the wind, regardless of its aerodynamic design. The power output of a wind turbine depends on the interaction of its rotor with the wind. In 1919, German…
The wind turbine power curve contains the optimal operating points. Notable wind speeds such as cut-in wind speed, rated wind speed, and cut-out wind speed define five operating zones. These zones determine the dynamic behavior of the wind turbine. Power…
The Weibull distribution is widely used in wind energy to mathematically model the distribution of wind speeds at a study site. This distribution is characterized by two parameters, the scale factor (c) and the shape factor (k). Accurately estimating these…
The Weibull and Rayleigh distributions are continuous probability distributions used to characterize the random data of wind speeds. These distribution functions are characterized by parameters and their purpose is to model the probability distribution of wind speeds. To describe the…
The history of wind energy has been shaped by the contribution of scientists and engineers who have devoted their professional lives to this renewable energy source. Thanks to them, wind turbines have developed incredibly and have become one of the…
