Wind power stations: 1985 performance and reliability. Final report
The use of wind power stations to generate electricity represents a new technology for the utility industry. Little is known about long-term energy production, equipment availability, and operation and maintenance costs. The objective of this report is to present the results of an assessment of field experience at a number of wind turbine sites. The data primarily covers 1985 field experience, but also includes previous years' experience when available. Operational information was collected and assessed from twelve commercial wind power stations and three experimental test sites. The data covers thirteen different wind turbine types. Results are presented for the current experience, and projections are developed for future large wind power stations.
