POWER PERFORMANCE TESTING

Scans of a document by the International Energy Agency in 1990.  This prescription for performance testing of wind turbines was conceived in 1982-3 and the 1990 document is substatially the same with some small refinements which I have mostly excluded to save space.  there is a similar standard test procedure by the AWEA 1983 which I could scan but it's very similar.  Averaging interval is 30-90 seconds in the AWEA doc, and the anemometer should be 1.5 - 6 rotor diameters upwind of the rotor.

I am probably breaking all sorts of copyright rules by putting this stuff on my site.  Please let me know and I shall remove it!  Seems a good idea though.  These docs were given to me for nothing and I wish to pass them on in the same spirit.

That's it folks.  If you insist, I can scan more but the rest of the book is relatively dull.
