dc.description.abstract | The objective of this paper was to assess the performance of the Adama-II Wind Farm in comparison to the feasibility study. Using 1-year mast data, the site potential was reassessed by WAsP software and the performance of wind turbine generators was assessed by 2 years of SCADA data. The obtained mean annual wind speed and power density were 7.75 m/s, and 462 W/m2 while in the feasibility study, 9.55 m/s, and 634.6 W/m2, which resulted in 18.8%, and 27.1% deviations respectively. The prevailing and secondary wind directions obtained were ENE and NE with 35.7% and 19.1% while, in the feasibility study, ENE with 36.5% and E with 17.3%. From the SCADA data, the Capacity factor, Annual Energy Production (AEP), and Availability of wind turbines were determined as 30.5%, 398 GWh, and 95.1%. The reasons for the deviation were difference in long-term correction data and weather conditions during study period. | en_US |
