EXPLANATION SHEET FOR
WISE VISUAL DISPLAY
This sheet explains the calculations behind the visual display:
Slide 1:
Banner – What Will 3 Community Wind Turbines Achieve
Slide 2:
Average Wind Speed (last 24 hours) in METRES PER
SECOND, and Average Wind Speed (last 24 hours) in
KILOMETRES PER HOUR
To convert m/sec to km/hr: 1 m/sec = 3.6 km/hour
Slide 3:
Benefits of 3 Turbine Community Owned Wind Park:
1) Amount of Power Generated to date (kWh)
This is based on a wind park consisting of 3 x 2.5 MW Nordex N80 Wind
Turbines, and calculated by comparing the average wind speed (Slide 2) to
the N80 Power Curve (see web site for details), which shows the
relationship between wind speed and power generated for that type of
turbine
2) Homes Powered (to date)
This calculated by dividing the Power Generated (above) by the average
daily power consumption of a Victorian Household (16 kWh), and then
divided by the number of days of generation.
3) CO2 Emissions Avoided (to date)
This is based on the general rule of 1.1 tonnes CO2 released for the
generation of each megawatt hour (MWh)
Slide 4:
Value of Power Generated ($)
1) Value of Power Generated to date
This is calculated by multiplying the amount of power (in kWh) generated
to date (Slide 3) by $0.12/kWh, a conservative electricity tariff
2) Value of Power Generated Over A Year ($)
This is calculated by taking the amount of power generated over the
measurement period, dividing by the number of days in that measuring
period to obtain the average daily energy production, and then multiplying
this number by 365 days.
ALL OF THE ABOVE NUMBERS ARE CUMULATIVE, THAT IS, THEY
CHANGE OVER TIME BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF POWER
GENERATED DURING THE MEASUREMENT PERIOD
