Small wind site assessment course Recap – Energy resource assessment

Small wind site assessment course Red flags Communicating uncertainties to customers

Identifying major issues or uncertainties at potential wind turbine sites Slide 7 Considering potential wind turbine sites, what are the obvious show- stoppers or significant risks?

Communicating these to customers Slide 8 How best to raise the red flags associated with the installation of the wind turbine, tower, and associated equipment?

Small wind site assessment course: Siting consideration summary: What’s key?

Siting considerations What is the first enemy of wind systems? What is the second enemy of wind systems? Slide 10

Remember… 1.Rougher surfaces due to complex terrain or ground clutter = gustier winds Gustier winds = ? 2.Towers do not grow, but what does? 3.What were the three most common mistakes? Slide 11

Siting to access quality winds 1.Vertical separation Start with the 10m/150m rule Get the rotor up there! Check for any displacement heights 2.Horizontal separation Minimize turbulence with distance Note prevailing wind direction Site upwind of obstacles Slide 12

Additional siting criteria 1.Highest elevation 2.Shortest cable run to point of interconnection 3.Maximum distance from neighbors 4.Compliance with local zoning for setbacks 5.Tower construction and erection 6.Crane access Slide 13

What is the minimum tower height for a serious wind turbine in Australia? 1.At the ground level to save on the ridiculous cost of the tower 2.Or on top of the roof 3.Or why not just leave it in the box 4.18m if… 24m if... (Sagrillo, 2009) Slide 14

Why a minimum? Slide m/150m rule – avoid turbulence or, if there are no tall obstructions within 150m, avoid ground drag and uneven pressure on the rotor: 2.If blade length <4.5m, the Minimum Tower Height = 18m + blade length 3.If blade length is >4.5m, Minimum Tower Height = 24m + blade length (Danish Wind Energy Association)

Where is the resource? Slide 16
