Performance evaluation of wind energy conversion systems using the method of bins: current status
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5101586
A detailed description of the method of bins, a technique of data collection and reduction for field performance evaluation of Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) is provided. The method of bins is a straightforward yet useful approach to the complex problem of relating the response of a WECS to a variable wind field. Examples of typical results obtained using the method of bins are presented. Methods of determining that the measure of performance of a WECS obtained is correct are outlined. Areas in which further modifications to the technique may be appropriate are also discussed.
