Cost estimates for vertical-axis wind turbines. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5594827
Several conceptual designs of complete wind power plants were developed, and estimates of energy capture, capital cost, operating and maintenance cost, and cost of electricity were prepared. Two vertical-axis wind turbine designs were considered: the 500 kW DAF Indal Series 6400 and the 170 kW FloWind Model 170. Small cluster installations of 3.4 MW to 5.2 MW and large cluster installations of 85 MW to 130 MW were designed. The performance of each turbine was evaluated for four specific wind regimes, and the small and large cluster layouts were optimized for the baseline Amarillo, Texas, wind regime. Cost estimates were based upon existing production methods and capacities and upon higher production levels of 400 to 1000 units per year over a period of five years.
