Regional Wind Energy Assessment Progress Report, June 1988-May 1989.
The purpose of this report is to discuss the status of Bonneville Power Administrations wind monitoring program and the data collected from June 1988 through May 1989. The wind monitoring program has been on-going since 1976. The annual summary of this data provides BPA with a periodic status report on both the equipment and wind resonance being measured. There were nine active sites this year. Three sites were instrumented at more than one level. One site, Hampton Butte, apparently failed in November of 1988 and was removed in May of 1989. The data recovery rate for all nine sites over their entire period of record was 82%. For each site, data are summarized for the past year in the body of the report. The statistics used to characterize the wind resource include: mean wind speed; peak gust; available energy; Weibull parameters; available energy; data recovery rate; and estimated turbine energy output for eight selected wind turbines. The appendices include summarized data for the entire period of record at these sites. These summaries provide the most important wind speed statistics required by potential wind developers. 8 refs., 29 figs., 18 tabs.
