Determining wind turbine power curves based on operating conditions
L. T. Paiva; C. Veiga Rodrigues; J .M. L. M. PalmaThe relation between wind speed and electrical power-the power curve-is essential in the design, management and power forecasting of a wind farm. The power curve is the main characteristic of a wind turbine, and a procedure is presented for its determination, after the wind turbine is installed and in operation. The procedure is based on both computational and statistical techniques, in situ measurements, nacel...
Software for slip-tendency analysis in 3D: A plug-in for Coulomb
M. C. Neves; L. T. Paiva; J. LuisSlip-tendency analysis is a valuable tool in fault reactivation evaluation and seismic hazard assessment as it provides a means of quantifying the slip potential on mapped or suspected faults in a known or inferred stress field. We developed an interactive graphic tool to perform slip-tendency analysis. The application is written in MATLAB in the form of plug-ins for COULOMB, a graphic-rich deformation and stre...
