In this document, we find the development of the practical case wind energy II where we carry out
two parts in one with a data table provided to us with which we carry out the calculations
In part two for case 2, calculation of energy generated in a wind farm, we select the
Case of Guajira 1 is a very important case in Colombia as it is the pilot project for the
installation of the region of La Guajira due to its accessibility difficulties, it is also the continuation of the
utilization of wind since in 17 years no project had been developed, in La Guajira there
It will build a wind farm with 540 MW in 3 phases with 16 projects, it is estimated according to
The generation auctions, to provide the generator data, were inquired into in a large
number of pages since the information is not clear on the official Isagen page which is the
company in charge of the project. (Isagen, 2021)
Exercise 1
The data table shows the measured wind speed data at a certain
location, in average hours per year. It also includes the power of a wind turbine at
each speed.
It is requested
1. Define what the power curve of a wind turbine is and draw it for the data of the
table.
RTA:
The power curve of a wind turbine is defined as a graph that establishes
the electric power that the wind turbine can deliver at different wind speeds
of work.

2. Define the concepts of connection speeds and disconnection speeds and deduce their values.
respective for this specific case, based on the values of the table.
CONNECTION SPEED AND CONNECTION: It is the minimum requirement regarding the
wind quality in relation to the minimum speed at which the connection is made, by
below that level, no connection is made. in the case of DISCONNECTION, they are the
levels that are above the maximums accepted by the team as in the case of
hurricane-force winds, in a few words, are the levels of operational speed of
wind turbine

For this case, we have that the connection speed is between 3 to 4. being

this is the minimum speed at which it can be generated for the equipment and for the

that level can cause damage to the wind turbine.
3. Define what nominal power is and deduce its value for this case, based on the values of
the table.
RTA:
RATED POWER: It is the operating range of the equipment in which it supplies
electricity to the grid at its maximum wind speed accepted by
The team and we have, as seen in the provided table, that for this case we

4. Calculate the annual production of the wind turbine based on the values provided in the
table.
RTA: to calculate the generation of the equipment, the table is looked at and the hours are multiplied by
service with the power delivered for each wind speed is summed to obtain the
total in the year since for the table we see that the operating hours correspond
a year being 8760 h.

5864852 KW
5864.852 MW
The annulled production of the proposed wind turbine in the table has a production
annual of 5,864,852 kw or in other words 5.864,852 Mw
5. Define the load factor, calculate it, and express it in hours and percentage (%).
RTA:
The capacity factor is defined as the output of the wind turbine over a year.
If the work is done at nominal power, it would always be at 100%, but since
this event is unusual it is defined as the maximum load of the generator with
relation to what this supply in the same time period. Said period is
It works hours a year, totaling 356 days multiplied by 24 hours, resulting in 8760.
the 6 remaining hours are added annually for a total of 8766 hours per year for
the case of the slab we have:
we have load factor:
5,864,852 kW it is obtained from the sum of the supplied power
by team during the year.
Theoretical annual production = 3000kw + 8766 = 26,298,000kw
5,864,852 KW
Load factor = =0.2230∗100=22.30%

It is one of the parks with the most difficulties
geographic considerations for its construction since for
to take the materials to the place you must cross
roads in deplorable states.
