Özet:

 


This work is focused on techno-economic performance evaluation of grid
connected wind turbines of different power ratings (2 MW and 3 MW) at six
coastline areas of Pakistan using RETScreen software. Software imports the
weather data of selected locations from its database reported by National
Aeronautics and Space Administration. Software outcomes indicate the unadjusted
energy production, gross energy production and capacity factor of wind
turbines. Comparative study shows that the wind turbine of either rating
installed in Jiwani, having capacity factor 33.7% (of 2 MW turbine) and 36.8%
(of 3 MW wind turbine) produces ~64% more gross energy than at Karachi and ~4%
more than that at Ormara location. Financial viability of wind power project
installation is evaluated considering economic determinants and life cycle
savings. Technical analysis also reveals the amount of electricity exported to
grid. Comparative performance of 3 MW and 2 MW wind turbines are evaluated, and
3 MW wind turbine is found more viable and profitable. Jiwani is found the most
favorite location for wind power project installation.
