Wind Turbine 1 Power Data Wind Turbine 2 Power Data

Quoted Power Output = kW = kW =

Usually Watts (W) or kiloWatts (kW).

Quoted Wind Speed = m/s = m/s =

Usually in meters per second (m/s).

Your Wind Site
Average (Mean) Wind Speed = m/s = Usually given in meters per second (m/s). ¹

¹ Evaluate your location using an accurate anemometer and data logger to obtain high quality wind speed data for your wind turbine investment.

Wind Turbine 1 Power Output Wind Turbine 2 Power Output

Approximate Wind Turbine
MEAN POWER OUTPUT = kW = kW =

Wind Turbine
MEAN POWER WIND SPEED = m/s = The approximate wind speed at which your wind turbine will produce the most yearly power. ^{2 3}

² Choose a wind turbine whose rated power is below your MEAN POWER WIND SPEED. This is due to the upper portion of the power distribution being produced by inconsistent wind gusts that occur only a few times a year, and you are most likely looking for consistent power output.
³ Based on properties of a very common yearly wind distribution which can be represented by a 2 parameter Weibull function of the shape par=2.

Resources to Assist in Wind turbine Comparison and Sizing:

• Affordable and Accurate Anemometer with Wind Data Logger

• Wind Powering America US Department of Energy - National average wind speed maps.

• World Wind Speed Maps

• NOAA National Climatic Data Center - Average wind speed for cities.

When your Wind Turbine choices do not list their Power Output at equal Wind Speeds
Use this wind turbine comparison calculator to compare their performance. For equivalent wind turbines, the one with a wider blade width will more likely be the better overall performer. Click here to learn why?

Wind Turbine Comparison should be made easy.
Investment in a wind turbine can be substantial, thus it is essential to have a clear picture of your choices and direct comparisons between wind turbines.
