Abstract

Using WindPRO that was software for windfarm design developed by EMD from Denmark, wind resources for the western Jeju island were analyzed, and the performance of WindPRO prediction was evaluated in detail. The Hansu site and the Yongdang site that were located in coastal region were selected, and wind data for one year at the two sites were analyzed using WindPRO. As a result, the relative error of the Prediction for annual energy Production and capacity factor was about ${\pm}20%$. For evaluating wind energy more accurately, it is necessary to obtain lots of wind data and real electric power production data from real windfarm.
