Concept selection, optimization, and preliminary design of large wind generatorsThe development of the conceptual design of high (1000 kW, 18 mph mean wind speed site) and low (100 kW, 12 mph site) power wind generator systems to be integrated into a standard electric utility is discussed. Analyses leading to the selection of the rotor and tower design are outlined. The 1000 kW system selected for further development utilizes an all composite rotor blade design and a steel shell tower. The projected energy cost is 3.5 cents/kW hr. Results of optimization of the rated power, site wind speed, and rated wind speed parameters are summarized.
