Wind resource assessment and energy yield prediction for the small wind turbine on the Szubieniczne Hill

Abstract

The goal of this study is to preliminary assess the wind resources on the Szubieniczne Hill in order to predict the annual energy production for planned small wind turbine. The analyzed site is located close to the Gdańsk University of Technology campus, in complex urban environment additionally surrendered by forested hills. The assessment is based on Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations which allow to evaluate the wind energy potential on the entire area of interest. Simulations are integrated with a long-term local wind measurements from nearby AARMAG weather mast. The study provides micro-scale wind maps of the analyzed area which are then used to a calculation of annual energy production and to proposed wind turbine located at the hill costeffectiveness evaluation.
