These are notes for my wind turbine independent study with Jeff Dusek.
9/12/2020 - I began Coursera Course
- we have a hight surface roughness probably around z_0=0.4 (wind profiles)
- Eddies are swirls of a fluid and it's reverse current in a turbulent flow regime (Wikipedia)
Wind Resource Assessment
- due to roughness of the forest, wind speed increases
- The Wind Atlas Analysis And Application Program (WAsP) provides an upward and downard analysis of the terrain
- on top of hills, we have over speeding due to continuity
- What is Weibull distribution?
9/10/2020 - First Semester Call with Jeff
site assessment - take photography and topography
data collection with raspi anemometer
hard part: is there enough detail in the Coursera course?
deliverables: structural design of design the tower, beam bending, blade design --> lifting line theory
model for the amount of power --> modeling in Simulink --> amount of wind, size of turbine...
Grade? --> a few deliverables: weekly journal entry/blog, Coursera quizzes (weekly entry), site assessment, modeling,
Get started: Coursera, as you work trough (document built-in quizzes) Do Simulink onramp
To-do for next week:
- Write up ISR-G application
- First week or two of Coursera course, wind resources, tests, and measurement part
- Personal notes in a google doc, final Report - technical report in latex, final deliverable that is more public-facing
