Abstract Details

2014, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, EECS - System and Control Engineering.
WindLCOE is a novel new tool developed through this project for wind turbine designers to promote return on investment by calculating the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for wind energy systems. The purpose of this MATLAB tool is to allow designers to calculate and find the optimal parameters for wind turbine design under multiple scenarios. These scenarios can vary in both the design of the wind energy system and the wind distribution it would be operating within. The WindLCOE tool is valuable to the wind energy field by providing an adaptable way to calculate the Levelized Cost of Energy that can be easily updated to reflect changes and advancements in wind energy design.
