Abstract

This paper presents a simple method for determination of pairing between sites and wind generators. It requires six parameters to describe the matching between turbine models and site characteristics, and the energy output performance can thus be easily estimated and used as the index of pairing effectiveness. To describe a Weibull model of wind speed distribution, the shape parameter and the scale parameter are necessarily required. Besides, four other parameters are chosen to specify the characteristics of the power curve of a wind generator: the cut-in speed, the rated speed, the cut-off speed and the nominal power. By combining these six parameters, the average power output of some particular wind turbine at a specific site can be practically and quickly approximated as a reference for turbine siting consideration. An example is also shown to demonstrate the utilization of the proposed method to choose between a group of wind sites and a list of commercial wind turbines.
