Representative data of wind turbines
Representative data of wind turbines
(OP)
Hello everybody, i'm an electrical engineer and actually i'm performing dynamic simulations of wind turbines but i have had some difficulties with data avaliability. Particularly those data related to equivalent wind speed time series and equivalent torque coefficient tables. (equivalent coefficients are calculated from lift coefficients and drag coefficients as far as i know).
Can anyone give an idea about where to find these kind of data?.

If you are looking to derive the coefficients yourself, you may have some task ahead of you. As I recall, incident wind speed and direction are a function of height above the ground, so as your blades rotate around the axis, all of these are changing.
