Location yield at 160 m altitude

Map of location yield for a fictitious wind turbine (WEA) with rotor diameter of 148 m and rated power of 5 MW at 160 m altitude above ground. The power curve of WEA has only a certain validity range of relevant wind parameters, such as turbulence intensity, inclined current and wind shear. In reality, however, these areas of validity are exceeded in many locations. Especially in forest locations or too dense placement of WEAs, increased turbulence occurs. Therefore, a flat-rate deduction of about 6 % is recommended when using the site yield.
