An analysis of electricity generation in a wind farm in north-eastern Poland – a case study

Abstract

There are various methods of generating electric power. This article analyzes electricity generation in the Wronki wind farm in Poland. Wind farm specifications and turbine parameters were presented. The correlations between the wind farm’s performance and wind speeds in 2014-2016 were analyzed. Turbine availability was estimated. The economic performance of the wind farm was analyzed by calculating the proceeds from the sale of generated electricity. The wind farm’s environmental impact was determined by calculating the volume of CO2, SO2, NOx, CO and dust emissions associated with the generation of equivalent amounts of electricity in a conventional power plant.
