Betz’s law
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 power curve
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…
How to Estimate Weibull Parameters for a Wind Speed Distribution
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…
Weibull and Rayleigh distributions
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…
