WTS-4 wind turbine test program. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5751012
A summary of activity and results for a test project on the WTS-4 wind turbine, sited at Medicine Bow, Wyoming, is provided. The project was jointly funded by the Electric Power Research Institute and Hamilton Standard. The objectives of the project were to: (1) develop an improved understanding of wind turbine technology; (2) evolve wind turbine test methods and capabilities; and (3) help EPRI identify research activities that promote the evolution and use of utility grade wind power stations. The 4-megawatt WTS-4, designed and developed by Hamilton Standard, is owned by the US Bureau of Reclamation. It was erected in the fall of 1982 and by the end of 1983 had generated approximately 1500 megawatt hours. Significant operational events that occurred during the first full year of operation are reviewed.
