TVA's Buffalo Mountain Wind Power Plant - Wind Turbine (or Windmill) Power Calculator

for 3 V47-660 kW and 15 V80-1.8 MW Vestas Wind Turbines

April 15, 2006

Note, 2022: The 3 original turbines were rendered inoperable in 2009. (archive, 2022)

How Windy Is It Lately? (weather.gov, scroll down for graphs) Note: 1 m/s is about 2.24 Miles/Hour

Wind speed (m/s): [ Effective Range: >4 to <25 ]
Temperature (Celsius):
Relative humidity (%): [ Range: 0 to 100 ]

Note: The turbines produce power for winds above 4 m/s and below 25 m/s. For 4 or lower, or 25 or higher, the calculator will calculate zero because the turbines will produce zero. Also, maximum rated power is produced for winds between about 14 m/s and 25 m/s. See the Basis link for the power curve.
