Annual Energy Output Estimation of a Wind Turbine

The purpose of this article is to develop a new method to estimate annual energy output for a given wind turbine in any region which while is easy to use, has satisfactory accuracy too. To do this, hourly wind speeds of 25 different stations in Netherlands, output power curve of S47 wind turbine and fuzzy modelling techniques and artificial neural networks were used and a model is developed to estimate annual energy output for S47 wind turbine in different regions. Since this model has three inputs (average wind speed, standard deviation of wind speed, and air density of that region), this model is easy to use. The accuracy of this method is compared with the accuracy of conventional methods and it is shown that this new method performs better.
