Wind turbulence and atmospheric stability — Their effect on wind turbine output

Janardan Rohatgi and Gil Barbezier

Renewable Energy, 1999, vol. 16, issue 1, 908-911

Abstract: This paper analyses the effect wind turbulence on the output of large-sized wind turbines. A brief account of atmospheric stability and vertical temperature gradient is explained. The principal objective of this paper is to give an account of underlying principles and concepts without going into the depth of this topic for the wind energy engineering community.
