Rocky Flats Small Wind Systems test center activities. Volume I. Atmospheric test data collected from Small Wind Energy Conversion Systems. Second interim report
The wind system data presented in this report represents the results of various tests of SWECS installed at the Rocky Flats Small Wind Systems Test Center as of June 30, 1979. Much of the data are not final, but are believed to present an accurate representation of the performance of each system. Because of operating problems and failures experienced by some of the machines (and at times by the data collection system) the amount of data available for analysis varies widely from system to system. Data are presented on a total of 16 machines, including updated data on nine machines which were presented in the first semiannual report. Vibration, controlled velocity testing and plans for a dynamometer test facility (which is under construction) are described. The description of each system under test includes information on design output, output type, rotor configuration, and other basic design features. The condition under which each SWECS was tested are described. Graphic plots of quantitative data and narrative accounts of qualitative data collected on each SWECS are provided.
