TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the characteristic of the wind speed and wind energy potential in the northern coastal region of Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, using Weibull distribution.
Abstract
The aims of this paper are to investigate the characteristic of the wind speed and wind energy potential in the northern coastal region of Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. The wind data was gained from Meteorological Station of Semarang, with ten-min average time series wind data for one year period, at the height of 10 m. Weibull distribution has been used to determine the wind power density and wind energy density of the site. It was shown that the value of the two parameters, shape parameter k, and scale parameter c, were 3.37 and 5.61 m/s, respectively. The annual mean wind speed and wind speed carrying the maximum energy were 5.32 m/s and 6.45 m/s, respectively. Further, the annual energy density at the site was found at a value of 103.87 W/m2, and based on Pacific North-west Laboratory (PNL) wind power classification, at the height of 10 m, the value of annual energy density is classified into class 2. The commercial wind turbine is chosen to simulate the wind energy potential of the site. The POL...

Capacity factor of wind power realized values vs. estimates

Nicolas Boccard
- 01 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: The capacity factor of wind power measuring the average energy delivered has been assumed in the 30-35% range of the name plate capacity for two decades now, yet, the mean realized value for Europe over the last five years is below 21%; accordingly private cost is two-third higher and the reduction of carbon emissions is 40% less than previously expected.
