  • Wind Atlases Of The World (see below):
 
 
The wind atlas methodology and the WAsP program has been applied in more than 100 countries and territories around the world – for national, regional and local studies. A list of major national and regional studies – several of which contain WAsP data files on disk – is given below. The 35+ countries on this page are:
 

Algeria
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Brazil
Croatia
Czech Republic
Denmark
Egypt

 

Estonia
Finland
France
Georgia
Germany

Example Wind Speed & Wind Turbine Power Output:
 
Churchill, MB - Wind speed is 7.01 m/s annually
 
1m/s = 3.6 KM/H = 2.25 MPH
 

Latitude = 58.758, longitude = -94.172

 

Period Mean Wind Speed Mean Wind Energy Weibull shape
parameter (k)
Weibull scale
parameter (A)
Annual 7.01 m/s 339.13 W/m2 1.94 7.91 m/s
Winter (DJF) 7.92 m/s 453.00 W/m2 2.10 8.95 m/s
Spring (MAM) 6.61 m/s 283.00 W/m2 1.95 7.45 m/s
Summer (JJA) 6.24 m/s 243.00 W/m2 1.91 7.03 m/s
Fall (SON) 8.00 m/s 490.25 W/m2 1.99 9.02 m/
 
 
 
Power generated by 300W wind turbine at this location:
 
2.01 MWh/year = 2,001 KWh/year   ( 167.5 KWh/month )
 
1 megawatt (MW) = 1,000 kilowatts (kW) = 1,000,000 watts (1 million)
 
 
Calculation for the data you entered (.5,2.5,12):
 
Period Power Output Energy Output Use factor

Winter (DJF) 0.27 kW 0.59 MWh/period 53.44 %
Spring (MAM) 0.21 kW 0.47 MWh/period 42.48 %
Summer (JJA) 0.20 kW 0.43 MWh/period 39.27 %
Fall (SON) 0.27 kW 0.59 MWh/period 53.43 %
