Summary of Wind Energy Output Data

This document presents a tabulated relationship between average annual wind speed and the corresponding annual energy output for a wind power system, along with equivalent operational hours.

Key Parameters

• Average Annual Wind Speed (m/s): Ranges from 4.5 m/s to 7.5 m/s in increments of 0.5 m/s.
• Annual Energy Output (MWh/year): Corresponds to the energy generated annually, increasing with wind speed from 165 MWh/year at 4.5 m/s to 436 MWh/year at 7.5 m/s.
• Equivalent Hours: Represents the number of hours the system would need to operate at rated power to produce the same annual energy output, ranging from 1650 to 4361 hours.

Data Interpretation

The data indicates a positive correlation between wind speed and energy output, highlighting the importance of site wind conditions for energy yield. The equivalent hours metric provides a useful measure for comparing performance relative to rated capacity.

Critical Insights

• Energy output increases approximately linearly with wind speed within the given range.
• Higher wind speeds significantly improve the annual energy yield and equivalent operational hours.
• This data can be used for preliminary feasibility assessments and performance estimations of wind power installations.
