Wind method. Method of calculation of the wind energy converted Summary For each set of wind data, independant of source, a velocity exceedence curve was constructed using the Weibull distribution where the 'k' value was available or the Rayleigh distribution where 'k' was not available. From this curve, knowing the wind turbine response data, three (one for each selected machine) equivalent power duration curves were constructed. This allowed comparison of machine performance in different wind profiles.
The only exception to this was when sufficient data was available, instead of annual velocity exceedence curves, seasonal curves were constructed. Three equivalent power duration curves were then constructed for each season. Velocity Exceedence Curve For the North Sea, 'c' and 'k' parameters were available. Where 'c' and 'k' values were not available, as with the rest of the world, a Rayleigh distribution was assumed.

Windenergie-Daten der Schweiz. Result With the power calculator you can estimate the power production for a site for different turbine types. A turbine availabiliy of 100% is assumed (no losses due to down time, icing, transformer losses, park effects etc.). No guarantees can be given for the obtained results. 1 The capacity factor is the ratio between the annual production and the maximum technically possible production of a wind turbine. 2 The full load hours represent the capacity factor. 3 Operating hours are the expected number of hours a year the wind turbine produces electricity.
Woomera climate statistics. Australia's official weather forecasts & weather radar - Bureau of Meteorology. Wind roses for selected locations in Australia. Overview Wind roses which show the frequency of occurrence of wind speed and direction are available on this web site for 81 selected locations around Australia which have a wind record of at least 15 years. Many of these sites have more than twenty five years of data. The wind roses are available for 9am and 3pm for individual months, seasonally and annually.
There are also maps available to show average wind velocity across Australia. Selection of wind rose. Wind speed map Australia. Resource Maps - RenewablesSA. South Australia has a mix of renewable energy resources which is both unique and as extensive as anywhere in the world. The mix includes abundant wind resources capable of being accessed from hundreds of kilometres uninhabited and semi-inhabited coastline.
The State’s potential for geothermal energy is unparallel to any other State in the nation. The solar resource is outstanding in world terms as is the prospective wave energy resource. Only a fraction of South Australia’s renewable energy resources are being used at present. There is general agreement that the quality of these resources is such that they can be used to produce much more renewable energy at competitive prices. This area of the website consolidates existing and new data on the State's wind, solar and marine resources. RenewablesSA facilitates access to higher resolution data not available from the Renewable Energy Atlas.

EWEA publishes its European onshore wind energy statistics annually. It also publishes European offshore statistics half-yearly, statistics that are eagerly awaited by the industry and media. For global figures on onshore and offshore, EWEA relies on its partner the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). EWEA statistic publications are not available to order in hardcopy, but are freely available online. February 2015 View the pdf» See past European statistics January 2015 In 2014, Europe fully grid connected 408 offshore wind turbines in nine wind farms and one demonstration project with a combined capacity totalling 1,483 MW. 536 turbines were erected during 2014. 2,488 turbines are now installed and grid connected, making a cumulative total of 8,045.3 MW in 74 wind farms in 11 European countries.
