2. Tip-speed ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip-speed_ratio

   The tip-speed ratio, λ, or TSR for wind turbines is the ratio between the tangential speed of the tip of a blade and the actual speed of the wind, v. The tip-speed ratio is related to efficiency, with the optimum varying with blade design. [1] Higher tip speeds result in higher noise levels and require stronger blades due to larger centrifugal ...

5. Wind-turbine aerodynamics - Wikipedia

   However, very high tip speeds also increase the drag on the blades, decreasing power production. Balancing these factors is what leads to most modern horizontal-axis wind turbines running at a tip speed ratio around 9. In addition, wind turbines usually limit the tip speed to around 80-90m/s due to leading edge erosion and high noise levels.

6. 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.

7. Measurement tower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_tower

   Before developers construct a wind farm, they first measure the wind resource on a prospective site by erecting temporary measurement towers.Typically these mount anemometers at a range of heights up to the hub height of the proposed wind turbines, and log the wind speed data at frequent intervals (e.g. every ten minutes) [6] for at least one year and preferably two or more.

8. Variable speed wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_wind_turbine

   A variable speed wind turbine is one which is specifically designed to operate over a wide range of rotor speeds. It is in direct contrast to fixed speed wind turbine where the rotor speed is approximately constant. The reason to vary the rotor speed is to capture the maximum aerodynamic power in the wind, as the wind speed varies.

9. Wind turbine prognostics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine_prognostics

   Wind turbines also experience widely varying operating conditions like dynamic wind load, varying speed, and impact, which can push bearings beyond their limits, accelerating their failure. [ 11 ] Wind turbine bearings also frequently exhibit white etching cracks , a kind of localized damage to the ferrite microstructure of steel.
