wind turbine model for europe

Hi Houssein,

I don't know if you are asking about designing your own computer model of a wind turbine, or if you are asking about using SAM to model a wind turbine in a location in Europe.

To use SAM's wind power model, you need time series (hourly or subhourly) wind resource data for one year. I am not aware of a source of wind resource data for locations outside of the United States. The wind data must be in the SAM CSV format for wind, which is described in SAM's Help system: samrepo.nrelcloud.org/help/weather_format_csv_wind.html

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Hossein,

Wind speed data measured at 10 meters above the ground is not suitable for wind power analysis, except for very small turbines. For best results, you should use data measured at or near the turbine hub height.

Best regards,
Paul.
