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
