Unalakleet Draft Wind Resource Report Spring 2003
AIDEA Report 1 E. F. McCarthy & Associates, LLC Draft Wind Report Spring 2003 SUBJECT: Wind Resource Assessment Nome, Unalakleet, and Yakutat Introduction Wind data are assembled from various studies conducted at Nome, Unalakleet, and Yakutat to develop an estimate of the wind resource in the three communities. The wind speed power law is used to adjust the average wind speed from the measurement height to a wind turbine hub height of 24 meters above ground level. The selected wind turbine is the Atlantic Orient (AOC) Model 15/50. This turbine has a rotor diameter of 15 meters and a rated output of 50kW at 25 mph. A standard sea level power curve for the turbine is used. Sources of Data The following data are assembled for these analyses: x Airport data from Nome, Alaska. These data cover the period from 1/1/97 through 12/31/2002. The data are collected at the airport in Nome and were obtained from the Western Region Climate Center. x Airport data from Yakutat, Alaska. These data cover the period from 1/1/95 through 12/31/2002. The data are collected at the airport in Yakutat and were obtained from the Western Region Climate Center. x Wind resource assessment study data for Unalakleet, Nome, and Yakutat. For Unalakleet, there is approximately one year of hourly data collected at 40 feet above ground level (agl). For Nome, there is a short period of data collected from two 90 foot towers on Anvil Mountain in 2000; a site designated as #1 on top of Anvil Mountain with measurements at 40 feet agl; a site designated as #2 on Anvil Mountain at a slightly lower elevation with measurements at 40 feet agl; a site designated as #3, southeast of town at 40 feet agl. For Yakutat, there are six months of data from a tall tower study. x Historical reports of previous studies in the Yakutat area. Historical Wind Resource Assessments Wind Resource Atlas of the United States – Alaska The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) updated the Wind Resource Atlas of the United States in 1987. The atlas has seven classifications of wind speed and wind power density which are presented in Table 1. The actual classification maps for the State of Alaska are obtained from the NREL web site and are presented in Figures 1 – 4. AIDEA Report 2 E. F. McCarthy & Associates, LLC Table 1 Classes of wind power density at 10 m and 50 m(a). 10 m (33 ft) 50 m (164 ft) Wind Power Class* Wind Power Density (W/m2) Speed(b) m/s (mph) Wind Power Density (W/m2) Speed(b) m/s (mph) 0 0 0 0 1 100 4.4 (9.8) 200 5.6 (12.5) 2 150 5.1 (11.5) 300 6.4 (14.3) 3 200 5.6 (12.5) 400 7.0 (15.7) 4 250 6.0 (13.4) 500 7.5 (16.8) 5 300 6.4 (14.3) 600 8.0 (17.9) 6 400 7.0 (15.7) 800 8.8 (19.7) 7 1000 9.4 (21.1) 2000 11.9 (26.6) (a) Vertical extrapolation of wind speed based on the 1/7 power law. (b) Mean wind speed is based on Rayleigh speed distribution of equivalent mean wind power density. Wind speed is for standard sea-level conditions. To maintain the same power density, speed increases 3%/1000 m (5%/5000 ft) elevation. The maps indicate that Nome is considered a Class 3 area with 10 meter wind speeds in the range of 11.5 mph to 12.5 mph. Unalakleet and Yakutat are each considered Class 1 wind resource areas with 10 meter wind speeds of 9.8 mph or less. Geophysical Institute Wind Study Wentink (1980) authored the original wind resource assessment study for the State of Alaska, titled “Alaskan Wind Power: An Introductory User’s Manual”. In Table 6 of that report, the projected 10 meter wind speed for Nome is 9.8 mph (4.4 mps); the projected10 meter wind speed for Unalakleet is 10.7 mph (4.8 mps); the projected 10 meter wind speed for Yakutat is 7.6 mph (3.4 mps). The threshold or wind speed limit for WECS use in the report is 9.6 mph at 10 meters agl. Figure 1 – Northern Alaska Annual Average Wind Power AIDEA Report 3 E. F.

McCarthy & Associates, LLC Figure 3 – Southeastern Alaska Annual Average Wind Power Figure 4 – Southwestern Alaska Annual Average Wind Power AIDEA Report 5 E. F. McCarthy & Associates, LLC Monthly and Annual Wind Speeds Unalakleet Unalakleet is located on Norton Sound at the mouth of the Unalakleet River, 148 miles southeast of Nome and 395 miles northwest of Anchorage. Data for a site in Unalakleet is collected on a 40 foot wood pole using a NOMAD data logger, a Maximum #40 wind speed sensors and a NRG #200P wind direction sensor. The annual average wind speed for one year of data from January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001 is 10.3 mph. The estimated hub height wind speed at 24 meters agl is 11.3 mph. Nome Nome is located on the southern side of the Seward Peninsula and on the northern side of Norton Sound. Data are available from the airport where the annual average wind speed (1997 – 2002) is 9.7 mph. The estimated hub height wind speed at 24 meters agl for a site with similar elevation and exposure as the airport is 11.1 mph. Two NRG Talltowers were installed on Anvil Mountain in June 2000. Severe icing conditions in September 2000 resulted in the loss of both towers. The two months of hourly wind speed data were correlated with the airport hourly values. The correlation coefficient was fair, around 0.70, implying that the Nome airport hourly data explained 50% of the variance in the Anvil Mountain data. The linear fit indicated that wind speeds at Anvil Mountain were approximately 35% greater than those at the airport. Using the linear fit between the Nome Airport data and the brief period of Anvil Mountain data, the 30 meter wind speed for Anvil Mountain Site 1 and Site 2 were reconstructed for the period January 1997 – November 2000. The projected annual average wind speeds at 30 meters agl were 14.6 mph at Site 1 and 13.7 mph at Site 2. Additional data were collected at Anvil Mountain in 2001 and 2002. One month of data – October 2002 – is available from Site 1 and a full year of data – November 2001 to October 2002 – is available at Site 2. Data recovery was excellent in the summer months and fair in the winter months. The poorer data recovery in the winter months is attributed to icing conditions. Mr. Dennis Meiners AIDEA.

February 15, 2003 AIDEA Report 8 E. F. McCarthy & Associates, LLC Yakutat Yakutat is located on the Southeast coast of Alaska. Wind data are obtained from Western Region Climate Center for the airport. In addition, data are also available from a 110 foot tower located at a well exposed coastal location, The annual average wind speed at the airport is presented in Table 4 (next page) and the value appears to confirm the Wind Power Class 1 designation for the area. A 110 foot NRG Systems Talltower was installed in Yakutat in late 1999 and four months of data are available at the 100 foot level. These monthly average wind speeds are presented in Table 5 (below). These values indicate that there is no developable wind resource at Yakutat. Table 5 – Monthly Average Wind Speed at 110 foot Level, Yakutat Alaska Year Month 110 Ft Wind Speed 1995 October 6.7 November 6.2 December 7.8 1996 January 7.1 Wind Shear Wind shear is the change or increase in wind speed above ground level. The simple wind power law is expressed as: U2 = U1 (Z2/Z1)alpha Where U2 and U1 are the wind speeds at the upper and lower levels, Z2 and Z1 are the upper and lower elevations, and alpha is the wind speed power law exponent. The typical value for the wind speed power law exponent is 0.14 (1/7 power law). Depending on terrain and surface roughness, the value may vary between 0.05 and 0.25. This formula, with a power law exponent of 0.14, is used to adjust the monthly average wind speeds from 10 meters to 24 meters above ground level. Wind Speed Frequency Distributions A wind speed frequency distribution is created using the actual hourly data from each site adjusted upward to a hub height of 24 meters agl.

The wind roses for Nome, Unalakleet, and Yakutat are presented in Figures 6-8. Please note that since these wind roses are based on data collected at airports, the direction data are in terms of magnetic north not true north. The value in the center of the circle is the percentage of time the wind speed is lower than the lowest threshold value of 5 mph. The wind rose for Nome shows a predominant north and east wind, reflecting a continental or off-shore effect. The wind rose for Unalakleet shows two directional peaks, north-northwest off of Norton Sound and east-northeast from the land. The wind rose for Yakutat shows a predominant easterly or off-shore wind wind. Note that for Yakutat, forty-one percent of the time, the average wind speed is less than 5 mph.

February 15, 2003 AIDEA Report 13 E. F. McCarthy & Associates, LLC Theoretical Energy Output The power curve for the AOC 15/50 turbine is matched with the wind speed frequency distribution derived from the wind data at Nome and Unalakleet to produce the theoretical energy output, in kilowatthours (kWh) of the turbine. This is termed the gross energy output. For Nome, based on the airport data, the theoretical gross annual energy output (rounded to the nearest 1,000 kWh) for an AOC turbine is 94,000kWh (Table 7); for Anvil Mountain, based on the data for Site 1 at 30 meters agl, 153,900kWh (Table 8); and for Unalakleet, 92,000kWh (Table 9). The net energy output, that is, the energy actually delivered to the grid, includes certain annual energy losses including maintenance downtime, control and performance issues associated with the turbine, and electrical energy losses through the grid and transformer system. These losses typically total 7.5%. One key measure of the goodness of the wind resource and the resulting energy output of the turbine is the net capacity factor of the site. The net capacity factor is defined as: Capacity Factor (CF) = Net Annual Energy Output/(8,760 hours X Turbine Rated Output) The net capacity factor for Nome (Airport) is 19.8%; the net capacity factor for Nome (Anvil Mountain) is 32.5%; the net capacity factor for Unalakleet is 19.4%. These results should be viewed as preliminary as they are based on data collected locally which may or may not represent the wind speeds at a site selected for a wind turbine; the reconstruction of the data for Anvil Mountain is based only on two months of concurrent data and the wind resource could be better; the collected at Unalakleet consists of only 1-year of on-site data; the wind speed power law may or may not replicate the wind shear at each site; and the wind speed frequency distribution is based on data collected at the airport.
