Small wind turbine power curve comparison
AFRICON 2009, 2009 This paper focus is on the small wind turbines resource potential estimation. Assessment is done for seven selected small wind turbines and one measured set of wind speed data with the micropower optimization modeling tool HOMER. Goal was to investigate how estimated energy production and economical parameters are sensitive to the selection of small ...
