Wind Energy Yield Forecast

Description

This project showcases a dashboard with the potential energy yield of a Goldwind turbine on the German coast of the North Sea.

Note that the assessment is an overestimate given that:

  • Maintenance and failure risk is not taken into account.
  • Energy lost due to nacelle rotation is not taken into account. Latest studies have shown losts of around 6% due to turbulence created; this generates bad readings for the control system.

In order to answer the question regarding site assessment:

What's the potential energy yield of a wind turbine on X site?

I can substitute the forecast data with historical on-site records.
