Wind Farms for Wind Energy

Wind Farms:

Now the point is how many wind turbine would be install at this place. If we install all the wind turbines near each other they effect each other. For example the upwind turbines effect the amount of wind received which is located downwind.

Due to upwind the velocity of wind slow down which effect the speed of rotor machine’s located downwind we can minimize the effect by install the turbines some distance.

             Relation b/w rotor diameter & array efficiency

Performance of system decrease when all located too close.

The above figure show the effect of array efficiency with respect to the tower spacing. Here 4 types of array mentioned which show different number of turbine and area. For example in 2 × 2 shows array consist total 4 turbines have equally distance each other, 8 × 8 show’s that 64 number of turbines installed in the square area, 6 cross 6 show 36 wind turbines in equally spaced area and 4 × 4 has 16 turbines.

Number of array is inversely proportion to the efficiency of the wind turbine.

From the previous figure and theoretical study result tells that the space between the tower in the row recommended is 3–5 rotor diameters each one and the distance between row of wind turbines approximately  5–9 diameters.
