The investigation of site selection for wind turbine on the basis of wind flow characteristic at RGPV Hill Top (Bhopal- M.P, India) is attempted in this paper. The main purpose of this paper is to perform an investigation on wind flow characteristics and wind energy assessment at RGPV Hill Top and to determine the Annual Energy Production for previously installed wind turbines located at the same site. In this work, the recorded time series wind data fetched by the NRG Symphonie Data logger wind mast installed at Energy Park, RGPV at the co-ordinates of E 077° 21.668' longitude and N 023° 18.720' latitude stand a mast. This data analyzed for a period of 1 year i.e. from 4-July-2013 to 4-July-2014 at the height of 20 meter and 40 meter, with a fixed averaging interval of 10 minutes, for studying the observed wind climate. The analyzed data which was worked upon comprises of wind speed data in meter per second and its direction of flow in degrees. The wind turbine site selection tool i.e. WAsP, presented in this paper provides insights into the most feasible sites for a given geographic area based on user inputs. The data were analyzed using WAsP software and regional wind climate of the area was determined, providing vital details which helped in selecting the proposed turbine sites. |
