Trip for Great Falls, MT
Members of the ARRC Wind Turbine Team recently made another trip to Great Falls, MT
to collect new wind farm data from the WSR-88D NEXRAD located there.
See pictures of this trip here.
Key Summary Points
- The wind turbines at this location have a rotation rate that varies with the wind speed.
- The NEXRAD radar is located 6 kilometers from 6 wind turbines. This allowed the team to test for additional scattering effects such as multi-turbine scatter and multi-trip echoes.
The wind farm is located to the west of Great Falls and is owned by Exergy and United Materials.
