متن کاملOptimization of the Hub Height of a Wind Turbine
This paper presents a new method for optimizing the hub height of a wind turbine. In general, wind turbine energy production increases with the hub height, but so does the cost. Therefore, we must optimize the hub height. Here, we calculated the annual energy production using a wind probability function. This is a function of the hub height and the roughness, which is a surface characteristic. ...
