Desalination by Wind Power Since energy requirements for desalination processes are large, the energy supply in remote areas is a problem, especially if electricity is required. The status and perspectives of development of wind-powered desalination are reviewed in this paper. Desalination processes suitable for coupling to wind turbines are reverse osmosis (RO), mechanical vapour compression (MVC) and electrodialy... ... hiện toàn bộ

Analytical Formulae for Wind Turbine Tower Loading in the Parked Condition by Using Quasi-Steady Analysis The analytical formulae are proposed to estimate the maximum value for along-wind load and across-wind load on the wind turbine towers by using the quasi-steady analysis. The critical parameters in the standard deviation such as the mode correction factors, aerodynamic damping ratios, size reduction factors and wind load ratios are investigated to identify their directional characteristic... ... hiện toàn bộ

Assessing Avian-Wind Turbine Collision Risk: An Approach Angle Dependent Model A site specific model of avian-turbine collision risk is an important component of assessing environmental impacts from wind power projects. Existing models assume, however, that avian flight paths are either parallel or perpendicular to the turbine orientation and that other orientations do not significantly affect the predicted collision probability. We describe a mathematical model whi... ... hiện toàn bộ

Design Procedure for Tubular Lattice Towers for Small Wind Turbines Despite having been used for a long time, tubular lattice towers with three or four legs have not been systematically analysed for use with small wind turbines. We present a design procedure based on modelling the towers as either tripods or quadrapods to allow analytic approximations to the tower stresses. Following the IEC standard for small wind turbine design, the critical load occurs... ... hiện toàn bộ

Wind Regime and Wind Power in North Patagonia, Argentina The present paper discusses wind and wind power characteristics in a region north of 40° S (North Patagonia, Argentina) as well as wind power projects sustainability. Extreme wind episodes influence most economic and social regional activities. Mean flow pattern was studied in three North Patagonia sites: Neuquén, Mari Menuco and Cutral-Có, by sampling analysis of wind direction and inten... ... hiện toàn bộ

Optimisation of Self-Supporting Towers for Small Wind Turbines Small wind turbines have the potential to provide a significant amount of useful electricity; particularly in urban areas where it is necessary to use self-supporting monopole towers. Their take-up can be increased by reducing tower costs. The numerical optimisation technique called differential evolution (DE) was used to design a minimal mass self-supporting tower for a 5 kW wind turbine... ... hiện toàn bộ

Analysis of Force-Capping for Large Wind Turbine Rotors A standard design procedure is to optimise wind turbine rotors for maximum power coefficient within a specified range of wind speeds, up to the rated wind speed. The downwind thrust force upon the rotor is greatest at this design condition. Reacting large forces using cantilever beams necessitates high material costs for the blades, tower and foundations. This paper shows that limiting th... ... hiện toàn bộ

A Preliminary Investigation of Low-Cost SODAR Anemometry This preliminary research examined the applicability of Mini Doppler SODAR (MDS – sonic detection and ranging) for wind characteristics assessment of a potential wind farm. The wind characteristics obtained from the MDS were compared with those from standard anemometers on a 70 m high observation tower located near the MDS on relatively flat terrain. The wind speed and direction data reco... ... hiện toàn bộ
