Abstract

Wind energy is the world’s free form of energy, besides that it has expenses, because of the wind turbine construction and maintenance. The Cost of Energy (CoE) of the wind turbine is used to estimate the amount of time it takes to recover the cost of an investment by the wind farm owners. Hence optimization of the wind turbine CoE will make wind a very competent source of energy. In this article, the wind speed is modified using three alternative distributions in order to reduce the wind turbine CoE, and the turbine Annual Energy Production (AEP) is evaluated. Mathematical functions such as linear, quadratic and cubic have been used to model the wind power. This study enables us to figure out the minimum turbine CoE among the mathematical distributions, along with the optimum mathematical function for wind power modelling and to optimize the rotor radius of turbine.
