Wind Turbine Output Estimation using Windographer Software

Abstract

Wind Resource assessment is the first step in wind power development at pre-investment stage. In this paper, using Windographer software, the capacity factor of the site is esti- mated by considering different wind turbine models. The input used for estimation are time-series wind speed and technical specifications of wind turbine models. In addition to the capacity factor, wind power density is also estimated and it is found that the site is having enough potential for wind power generation.
