Abstract :
Performance of 2.25 MW wind farm at Devgarh in Pratapgarh district of Rajasthan was studied. Parameters of analysis were energy production, capacity factor, machine availability, grid availability, and system availability of three wind turbines installed at site. The data for year 2011, and 2012 of wind farm were used in calculations. The results of this study confirm that wind farm performance could be further increased by improving grid availability, and machine availability of the wind turbines.
