  2. Wind profile power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_profile_power_law

    The power law is often used in wind power assessments [4] [5] where wind speeds at the height of a turbine ( 50 metres) must be estimated from near surface wind observations (~10 metres), or where wind speed data at various heights must be adjusted to a standard height [6] prior to use.

  3. Forces on sails - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forces_on_sails

    Measurements show that wind speed, (V (h) ) varies, according to a power law with height (h) above a non-zero measurement height datum (h 0 —e.g. at the height of the foot of a sail), using a reference wind speed measured at the datum height (V (h 0) ), as follows: [24] [25]

  4. Roughness length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughness_length

    Roughness length is a parameter of some vertical wind profile equations that model the horizontal mean wind speed near the ground. In the log wind profile, it is equivalent to the height at which the wind speed theoretically becomes zero in the absence of wind-slowing obstacles and under neutral conditions. In reality, the wind at this height ...

  5. Betz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz's_law

    Modern large wind turbines achieve peak values for C P in the range of 0.45 to 0.50, [2] [full citation needed] about 75–85% of the theoretically possible maximum. In high wind speed, where the turbine is operating at its rated power, the turbine rotates (pitches) its blades to lower C P to protect itself from damage.

    Flow visualization of wind speed contours around a house Wind engineering covers the aerodynamic effects of buildings Damaged wind turbines due to hurricane Maria. Wind engineering is a subset of mechanical engineering, structural engineering, meteorology, and applied physics that analyzes the effects of wind in the natural and the built environment and studies the possible damage ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_energy_software

    Germanischer Lloyd found FAST suitable for "the calculation of onshore wind turbine loads for design and certification." [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The open source software QBlade developed by the wind energy research group of Hermann Föttinger Institute of TU Berlin (Chair of Fluid Dynamics) is a BEM code coupled with the airfoil simulation code XFOIL .

  8. Wind resource assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_resource_assessment

    Wind flow modeling software, based on either the traditional WAsP linear approach or the newer CFD approach, is used to calculate these variations in wind speed. Energy production using a wind turbine manufacturer's power curve: When the long term hub height wind speeds have been calculated, the manufacturer's power curve is used to calculate ...

  9. Log wind profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_wind_profile

    When estimating wind loads on structures the terrains may be described as suburban or dense urban, for which the ranges are typically 0.1-0.5 m and 1-5 m respectively. [ 2 ] In order to estimate the mean wind speed at one height ( z 2 {\displaystyle {{z}_{2}}} ) based on that at another ( z 1 {\displaystyle {{z}_{1}}} ), the formula would be ...
