Homework Statement
Model a 1KW windturbine.
Homework Equations
in this link u will find the equation (its equation 2-3) for a fit for a cp(lambda,beta) curve. It has 6 coefficients. The coefficients given are particular to a 1.5 MW windturbine. Does anyone know where I can find any values for a 1 KW wind turbine. I was hoping to find values in papers but alas all i have found so far is examples of cp(lambda,beta) curves for 1 KW turbines. But none of the papers have discussed use of this equation. perhaps i am using the incorrect key words.
also if i take one of the curves I found is it possible to use a program to come up with a best fit equation for it. i mean i'll have the graph as an image. Can those fancy maths programs (matlab or mathematica etc) analyse a graph in an image. cos that would do too.
