Suggest Onshore Wind Turbine

• RESKit can suggest a turbine design based off site conditions (average 100m wind speed)

• Suggestions are tailored to a far future context (~2050)

• Since the suggestion model computes a specific capacity, a desired rotor diameter must be specified

Workflow:

1. Import required packages

2. Get suggested wind turbine for one location

3. Get suggested wind turbines for multiple locations

import reskit as rk

# Get suggestion for one location
# Required argument: avg wind speed at 100m height: wind_speed
# Optional arguments: base_capacity, base_hub_height, base_rotor_diam
design = rk.wind.onshore_turbine_from_avg_wind_speed(
    wind_speed=6.70,
    base_capacity=3000,
    base_rotor_diam=136,  # Assume average 100m wind speed is 6.70 m/s
)


print("Suggested capacity is {:.0f} kW".format(design["capacity"]))
print("Suggested hub height is {:.0f} meters".format(design["hub_height"]))
print("Suggested rotor diameter is {:.0f} meters".format(design["rotor_diam"]))
print("Suggested specific capacity is {:.0f} W/m2".format(design["specific_power"]))
