Wind Energy Output Analysis

Data Overview

The document presents a tabulated summary of wind energy production parameters, correlating average annual wind speeds with corresponding annual energy outputs and equivalent operational hours.

Key Parameters

• Average Annual Wind Speed: Ranges from 4.5 m/s to 6.5 m/s.
• Annual Energy Output: Varies from 151 kW to 278 kW, with corresponding energy production between 2517 MWh/year and 4641 MWh/year.
• Equivalent Hours: Values range from 2517 to 4641 hours, indicating the effective operational time at rated power.

Interpretation

The data indicates a positive correlation between average wind speed and both annual energy output and equivalent operational hours. As wind speed increases, energy production and equivalent hours increase significantly, highlighting the importance of site wind speed in wind energy yield estimation.

Critical Insights

• Wind speeds above 6 m/s substantially improve energy output, suggesting optimal site selection criteria.
• Equivalent hours provide a useful metric for comparing turbine performance across different wind regimes.
