Find the power and capacity factor that this turbine would produce in one year at the three
Question:
Find the power and capacity factor that this turbine would produce in one year at the three locations mentioned in the previous problem. What class would the turbine have to be in each case?
Shown below is the operating curve for a 2 MW Gamesa turbine with a rotor diameter of 90 m and a hub height of 100 m. This curve was obtained using a reference air density of 1,225 kg/m3.
Site in Yucatan (air density = 1.25 kg/m3)
Average velocity = 6.51 m/s
Standard Deviation = 2.889 m/s
Site in Oaxaca: (air density = 1.2 kg/m3)
Average speed = 7 m/s
Standard Deviation = 4.125 m/s
Site in Guanajuato: (air density = 0.9 kg/m3)
Average velocity = 4.308 m/s
Standard Deviation = 2.445 m/s
