Wind Power Curve Modeling

modeling of a wind power curve, representing the relationship between wind speed and power output of a wind turbine

Process of creating a wind power curve model. The wind speed data is defined as an array ranging from 2 m/s to 25 m/s with increments of 0.5 m/s.

The wind power curve parameters are specified, including the cut-in wind speed, rated wind speed, and cut-out wind speed. These parameters determine the range of wind speeds over which the wind turbine produces power.

The power curve equation is defined using a conditional statement. It assigns zero power output for wind speeds below the cut-in speed and above the cut-out speed. For wind speeds within the cut-in to cut-out range, the power output is calculated based on a linear interpolation formula.

The code then plots the wind power curve using the plot function, with wind speed on the x-axis and normalized power output on the y-axis. The plot demonstrates how the power output of the wind turbine varies with wind speed, starting from zero at the cut-in speed, reaching its maximum at the rated speed, and dropping back to zero at the cut-out speed.
