This function represents how often winds of different speeds will be observed at a location with a certain average wind speed. The shape of the Weibull Distribution depends on a parameter called Shape. In Northern Europe and most other locations around the world the value of Shape is approximately 2, then the distribution is named Rayleigh Distribution. 55 Wind - Capacity factor Weibull Distribution of Wind Speeds for a site with an average wind speed of 7m/s. It demonstrates visually how low and moderate winds are very common, and that strong gales are relatively rare. It is used to work out the number of hours that a certain wind speeds are likely to be recorded and the likely total energy output of a WT a year.

  • Offshore Wind: Can the United States Catch up with Europe? January 2016
    Offshore Wind: Can the United States Catch up with Europe? January 2016 Wind energy power generation is on the rise around the world, due to its low fixed prices and lack of greenhouse gas emissions. A cumulative total of 369,553 megawatts (MW) of wind energy capacity was installed globally by the end of 2014.1 Of that total, only two percent came from offshore wind farms, which are able to capture stronger and more reliable ocean winds to generate electricity.2 Most offshore wind capacity is in Europe, where there are 3,072 grid-connected offshore wind turbines at 82 farms spanning 11 countries, for a total of 10,393.6 MW of wind energy capacity as of June 30, 2015.3 China, the leader in offshore wind in Asia, had 718.9 MW of installed capacity; Japan, 52 MW; and South Korea, 5 MW as of October 2015.4, 5, 6 In comparison, the United States is just beginning to invest in offshore wind energy, and is rapidly approaching the operational launch of its first commercial offshore wind farm. There is incredible potential for offshore wind development in the United States – the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has estimated the United States has over 4,000 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind potential, enough to power the country four times over.7 Installed Capacity European Union Offshore Wind Installed Capacity Offshore Wind (as of first quarter 2015) (as of first quarter 2015) Netherlands, 361 MW, 3% Sweden, 212 MW, 2% 10,393.60 Other, 60 MW, 1% Belgium, 712 MW, 7% United Kingdom, Germany, 5,017.00 2,760 MW, MW, 48% 27% 0.02 776 UNITED STATES E U R O P E A N CHINA, JAPAN, Denmark, 1,271 MW, 12% UNION SOUTH KOREA Figure 1: Megawatts of offshore wind in the world8 Figure 2: E.U.

Today Sweden produces 2 TWh of wind electricity, some 1.5 % of the Swedish consumption This map shows projects with all necessary permits in hand. Due to the global financial crisis, most of these projects will face a delay in terms of financial close. Almost all projects south of Lake Vänern are offshore projects and will only be built if the Government introduces a separate support system.

  • Blade Technology Innovations for Utility-Scale Turbines
    Blade Technology Innovations for Utility-Scale Turbines Tom Ashwill Wind Energy Department Sandia National Laboratories* Albuquerque, NM 87185, June 2006 Introduction. Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) is developing concepts that will enable the utilization of longer blades that weigh less, are more efficient structurally and aerodynamically, and impart reduced loads to the system. Several of these concepts have been incorporated into subscale prototype blades. The description of these concepts and the results of prototype blade fabrication and testing are covered here. Growth Trends. Installed wind energy capacity both worldwide and in the U.S. has grown exponentially over the past few years. The U.S. demand for new turbines is up dramatically in large part due to the re-activation of the Production Tax Credit (PTC). The inflation-adjusted COE for wind power has fallen dramatically as well. A large part of this drop has to do with the inherent efficiencies associated with larger turbines. The physical size has grown from an average of 100 kW in 1985 to over 1.5 MW today. Figure 1 shows pictures of turbines from the top utility-scale manufacturers in 2004, GE Energy (U.S.), Gamesa (Spain), Enercon (Germany), and Vestas-NEG Micon (Denmark) (1). These turbines are typically in the 1-3 MW size range. But the current trend is a continuation of the increase in size of commercial turbines (2). Per BTM Consults (1), the following companies are planning to commercialize turbines in the 3-5 MW size range by 2007: GE, Siemens, REPower, Vestas, Nordex, Ecotecnia, Prokon Nord, ScanWind, and WINWinD.
