Wind Energy Case Study




This is your chance.  Based on the characteristics identified yesterday from the Cape Wind Project, you now have a chance to locate a wind farm somewhere in the WDCCSD district.

Your possible evidence includes:

Wind Maps   (You need to examine and put into table format)


Wind Calculator  You need to decide on a specific turbine between 800 kW and 2000 kW and test it for at least 4 locations at a height someplace between 150 ft and 200 ft.  Show the data collected in a table format.


CREATE a poster that details the best location, in your opinion, based on the data and the factors presented in class.  Attach your data sheets and group information to the back.
