Abstract

This paper introduces a complete techno-analysis for wind turbine generator (WTG) system integrated with the utility grid (UG) from different side of views.The effects of maintenance duration, turbine type and selected site on the reliability as well as on the energy cost figure have been considered and investigated. A complete computer program has been designed and applied in the study to find out the most suitable site and the best turbine mode. Finally, a complete comparative study between all used modes, different selected sites has been carried out and then the most techno-economical and reliable one has been selected.
