Predicting a Windfarm with power limitation (2009-01-07)

[Old Forum Archivist]

I need to predict the production of a windfarm with a power limitation of 10MW but has 12MW installed.

This means that at any time there is enough wind for the wtg's to produce more than 10MW, the power would stay at 10MW.

Does anybody know if it is possible to do this with WASP?

You will need to constrain some of the WTG's, consult the turbine manufacturer, they may oblige to provide you with a constrained power curve. Cutting the respective power curve at a certain point is another option. In practice the turbines would be "tuned" down slowly, with the rated power at a each given wind speed being reduced.
