Developed by the Government of Canada, the software is multilingual, and includes links to wind energy resource maps. The Wind Data Generator (WDG) is a Wind Energy Software tool capable of running WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model to create a wind atlas and to generate wind data at resolutions of 3 km to 10 km.
The Wind Data Generator (WDG) is a wind energy software tool capable of running WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting Model) [1] model to create a wind atlas and to generate wind data at any location, any height of interest for any resolution from 3 km to 10 km.
For variable speed wind turbines, one of two types of generators can be used: a DFIG (doubly fed induction generator) or an FRC (fully rated converter). A DFIG generator draws reactive power from the transmission system; this can increase the vulnerability of a transmission system in the event of a failure.
Once the data set is in the database it can be analyzed and validated using tools built into the system or it can be exported for use in external wind data analysis software, wind flow modeling software, or wind farm modeling software. Many data logger manufacturers offer wind data management software that is compatible with their logger.
Originally, wind turbines were fixed speed. This has the benefit that the rotor speed in the generator is constant, so that the frequency of the AC voltage is fixed. This allows the wind turbine to be directly connected to a transmission system. However, from the figure above, we can see that the power coefficient is a function of the tip-speed ...
There are numerous site elements related to the analysis during this phase. This is part of the analysis phase in site planning. Synthesis phase: From the analysis, a program is developed, which is part of the synthesis phase. The third step deals with schematic design of a site plan as well as a preliminary cost estimate for the site. Step ...
The station model uses a wind barb to show both wind direction and speed. The wind barb shows the speed using "flags" on the end. Each half of a flag depicts 5 kn (9.3 km/h; 5.8 mph) Each full flag depicts 10 kn (19 km/h; 12 mph) Each pennant (filled triangle) depicts 50 kn (93 km/h; 58 mph) [4]
QBlade is a public source wind turbine calculation software, distributed under the Academic Public License. The software is seamlessly integrated into XFOIL , an airfoil design and analysis tool. The purpose of this software is the design and aerodynamic simulation of wind turbine blades.
