[ Bergey XL.1 Home ]

This power curve was corrected as best I can do to standard conditions.  I followed the example set by NREL, in their small turbine verification program, and used a monthly average temperatures.  I gathered the temperature information from www.wunderground.com for Bismarck.  The data encompasses 2,064 hours of data (86 days).  I used the 1 minute average data points.

Caution: Power curves are difficult to generate.  I don't put as much emphasis on the power curve itself as I do on the Energy Production estimates for each manufacturer's machines.

Based on the corrected power curve, these are the energy

estimates I have created for this turbine under standard conditions.

Please note that hotter temperatures and any altitude above sea level

degrades performance.
