WindPACT1500kW: Simulated performance data for the WindPACT 1.5 MW Baseline...

In AndyClifton/PowerPerformance: Package to analyze wind resource and wind turbine data (developer test version)

Description

This data set is a combination of inflow wind and turbine power data for the WindPACT 1,500 kW wind turbine. The data are based on simulations of the turbine response to a turbulent inflow. The inflow was simulated using the stochastic windfield modeling tool, "Turbsim". The turbine response was simulated using the aero-elastic simulator "FAST". Data were post processed using matlab to extract the variables described below.

Data format

A data frame with 1,524 observations of the following 7 variables:

ws.HH

hub-height wind speed (m/s)

Ti.HH

Turbulence intensity at hub height (%)

Shear

The exponent of the power law fit to the velocity profile

ws.eq

A rotor-equivalent wind speed (m/s)

RSS

A metric describing the difference between the meaasured velocity profile and an ideal power-law profile

power.mean

The mean power under these conditions (kW)

power.std

The standard deviation of power under these conditions (kW)
