Akin Ilhan, Mehmet Bilgili and Besir Sahin
Abstract
In this study, aerodynamic characteristics of a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) were evaluated and discussed in terms of measured data in existing onshore wind farm. Five wind turbines (T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5) were selected, and hub-height wind speed, UD, wind turbine power output, P and turbine rotational speed,
