1. Wind Power on Campus

2. Overview Started Fall of 2007 with Impact on Society Groups Testing and comparing: – “Wind Funneling” – Roof top conditions – Commercial turbines

3. The Process Identify variables (P = 0.5 x ρ x Cp x A x V 3 ) – Dependant on cubed wind speed! – Cp = Coefficient of performance (Betz limit is theoretical max) Identify Resources – WNY Wind map – Go get the data for the specific locations

4. Two Groups Turbine Design Data Collection

7. Results: Design

8. Sample Data Some times you get: Good Not so good…

9. Analysis: Data

11. Results of Analysis

12. Where can you find data and more information Email dsnitzer@buffalo.edudsnitzer@buffalo.edu www.wings.buffalo.edu/~dsnitzer/wind
