Life Cycle Analysis of Dual Generator Wind Turbine System – A Case Study

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: There is a need to develop a turbine system that can operate at low wind speeds of 2.0 to 3.0 m/s. This will require concerted efforts to improve the design. The dual generator model can be used to extract more wind power from sites with low wind speeds, such as those found in India. In this article economic feasibility analysis of dual generator model is conducted using data obtained from the B.B.Hills wind site of Karnataka State, India. Then the economic effectiveness of the dual-generator model is compared with single generator model. Financial assessment of the both the models done by calculating net present value (NPV), benefit to cost ratio (BCR), internal rate of return (IRR) and payback period.
