Mechanical Engineering wind resource assessment anemometer icing wind energy Southeast Ohio wind potential This study describes the results of the measurement campaign for the Wind Energy Assessment and Visualization Laboratory (WEAV) wind feasibility study in Athens, OH. A detailed procedure for acquiring and processing meteorological data from the WOUB tower location is included. An in-depth analysis of screening the data for events involving the icing of anemometers shows the most efficient way for flagging the data set. Results of the screening were used to recognize icing conditions on the meteorological tower for future wind resource assessment. An optimized rule-based approach was created to accurately and efficiently screen the data affected by icing. Over the 24 months, a final wind shear exponent of 0.453 and surface roughness of 9.16 meters was found. A wind speed of 4.5 m/s was found at 80 meters using the power law. An estimated cost analysis found that wind energy development was not currently feasible at the WOUB tower location based on two years of data. 2012-07-25 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1338490516 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1338490516 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
