A Computer Program to Calculate and Plot Wind-Generated Stored Energy at Constant Consumption.
Abstract
A computer program has been described which gives printed and plotted outputs of the quantity of wind-generated energy remaining in a storage system under given conditions. The program permits simulated variations of storage capacity, constant electrical load and conversion efficiency by simple data changes. Further alterations to the program itself are detailed, to adapt it to carry out similar calculations for wind turbines of various sizes of construction. The program has been tested by simulation of a hypothetical system of energy production, storage and consumption. It is planned that its predictions will be compared with data obtained from an experimental program currently in progress. (Author)
