Quiz: power production assessment
4 questions
with k and C the two parameters of the law. Find which sentence is true ?
The mean velocity <V> depends only on C
The value of the mean wind speed <V> only allows to deduce the parameters k and C.
The probability to find a wind speed lower than C is about 60%.
The probability to have strong winds increases when k decreases if C
stays constant
3. From
1 point
your knowledge on meteorology and Weibull wind probability distribution law
find which of the following sentences are true
The
parameters k and C obtained from data at a given height change if we consider a
different height
For
a given site the parameters k and C vary with the season.
the Weibull parameters k
and C are dimensionless
higher k, for the same C, implies a higher variability in the wind speed
higher
C always implies higher mean wind speed

are weaker in summer than during winter
Two

5. Q.E.1
1 point
We
consider two distinct sites for which the following Weibull parameters have
been determined:
Site
1: k=1.5, C=4.0 m/s
Site
2: k=2.2, C=4.1 m/s
To answer the following questions take the time to do some quantitative calculations using the following curve
for the gamma function.
With a
precision of 10 % the two sites have the same mean wind speed
The wind kinetic energy potential is significantly larger in site 1 than
in site 2
The
knowledge of the mean wind speed allows a good estimation of the energy
production potential of a site.
The
wind kinetic energy potential is significantly larger in site 2 than in site 1
With a
precision of 10% the two sites have same wind power density (proportional to
the cube of the wind speed)
