WES18 Power curve
There are two ways to generate a wind-turbine Power curve:
•
Calculate how much energy the air passing through the swept
area of the turbine can generate, or
• Measure the amount of electrical energy being produced by the system. The
second way to generate a Power curve is the more reliable one.
The
Power curve for the WES18 has been measured by the ( ECN ) the Dutch Energy Research Centre.
|
WES
dealers use the results of these measurements and have access to the
detailed Power curve data. WES dealers can make an accurate calculation
of the amount of energy that can be produced in your specific
environment.
Use the WES18 calculator for a first production estimation for your site.
