Abstract
The aim of this paper is to provide 40% of electricity consumption of Highfield Campus at the University of Southampton. The wind data is observed during the year of 2019 at three different heights, 10 m, 25 m and 45 m and obtained wind velocities are found as 6.34 m/s, 7.1 m/s and 7.48 m/s, respectively. According to the collected data, the best location for the wind turbine is proposed to be on the coast of the Isle of Wight. The system is designed with an installed capacity of 3.45 MW wind turbine. Based on the hub height and rotor diameter results run in MATLAB environment, two different solutions of turbine were given. Providing energy requirement of the campus with wind energy, there will be a decrease of approximately 20,000 tCO2 emissions per year. The diameter of the rotor and the hub height are calculated approximately 126 m and 158 m, respectively.
