Presentation Transcript

  1. Wind Power on Campus

  2. Overview • Started Fall of 2007 with Impact on Society Groups • Testing and comparing: • “Wind Funneling” • Roof top conditions • Commercial turbines

  3. The Process • Identify variables (P = 0.5 x ρ x Cp x A x V3) • Dependant on cubed wind speed! • Cp = Coefficient of performance • (Betz limit is theoretical max) • Identify Resources • WNY Wind map • Go get the data for the specific locations

  4. Two Groups Data Collection Turbine Design

  5. Results: Design

  6. Sample Data Some times you get: Good Not so good…

  7. Analysis: Data

  8. Analysis: Data

  9. Results of Analysis

  10. Where can you find data and more information • Email dsnitzer@buffalo.edu • www.wings.buffalo.edu/~dsnitzer/wind
