Power Performance Test Report for the SWIFT Wind Turbine

Technical Report Mendoza, I; Hur, J

This report summarizes the results of a power performance test that NREL conducted on the SWIFT wind turbine. This test was conducted in accordance with the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) standard, Wind Turbine Generator Systems Part 12: Power Performance Measurements of Electricity Producing Wind Turbines, IEC 61400-12-1 Ed.1.0, 2005-12. However, because the SWIFT is a small turbine as defined by IEC, NREL also followed Annex H that applies to small wind turbines. In these summary results, wind speed is normalized to sea-level air density.

Acoustic Noise Test Report for the SWIFT Wind Turbine in Boulder, CO

Technical Report Roadman, J.; Huskey, A.

This report summarizes the results of an acoustic noise test that the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) conducted on the SWIFT wind turbine. This test was conducted in accordance with the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) standard, Wind Turbine Generator Systems Part 11: Acoustic Noise Measurement Techniques, IEC 61400-11 Ed.2.1, 2006-11. However, because the SWIFT is a small turbine, as defined by IEC, NREL used 10-second averages instead of 60-second averages and utilized binning by wind speed instead of regression analysis.

Testing Small Wind Turbines at NREL's NWTC (Presentation)

Conference Sinclair, K

Reducing barriers to wind energy expansion, stabilizing the market, and expanding the number of small wind turbine (SWT) systems installed in the United States are important goals for the Department of Energy's (DOE) Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program. One of the barriers for the distributed wind market is the lack of SWT systems that are independently tested and certified. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has testing capabilities that are accredited by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). Currently, NREL is one of only two facilities in the United States that are A2LA accredited. To help industry provide consumersmore »« less
Final Report - Certifying the Performance of Small Wind Turbines

Technical Report Sherwood, Larry

The Small Wind Certification Council (SWCC) created a successful accredited certification program for small and medium wind turbines using the funding from this grant. SWCC certifies small turbines (200 square meters of swept area or less) to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) Small Wind Turbine Performance and Safety Standard (AWEA Standard 9.1 – 2009). SWCC also certifies medium wind turbines to the International Electrical Commission (IEC) Power Performance Standard (IEC 61400-12-1) and Acoustic Performance Standard (IEC 61400-11).

Executive Summary for the SNL SWIFT V27 Wind Turbine Dynamic Characterization

Technical Report Marinone, Timothy; Cloutier, David

This final report summarizes ATA Engineering Inc.'s experimental dynamic characterization of the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Scaled Wind Farm Technology (SWIFT) Vestas 27 (V27) wind turbine components and fully assembled turbines. Testing was performed at SNL's SWIFT facility in Lubbock, Texas, from October 2012 through June 2013.Dynamic testing consisted of modal testing of the individual blades, the towers in a free-free boundary condition, the towers bolted to the foundations, and the fully assembled wind turbines. Additionally, modal testing was performed on a hub and two nacelles to determine the mass and inertia properties of these components. Details on these testsmore »« less
