HUB HEIGHT

Hi, I have a question about the wind energy model, the measured weather data is at 10 meters above the ground but SAM will only allow the turbine height to be modeled for heights less than 35 meters from the measurement height. But in the documentation of that model it says that the model converts the wind speed from the weather data file to the speed at the height of the turbine.

Hi Jakub,

The wind power model adjusts the wind speed from the measurement height to the turbine height, but only when the difference between the two is less than 35 meters.

Best regards,
Paul.
