Moisture Impact on Wind Density Power Seasonally

Abstract

Increased carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere and their harmful effects on the atmosphere and humans in general, this increase leads to significant climate changes that continue to affect the coming years. There is an urgent need to develop and increase research on clean energy and find the impact of weather changes, on the turbine's efficiency as a result of density fluctuate. A two-phase flow homogeneous model used to find these changes. The study analyzed the effect of atmospheric conditions, including temperature, humidity and pressure on kinetic energy in the wind through its effect on air density and find the rate of change resulting from these conditions, the air is dry and when the air is humid so the increase or decrease of this energy will affect positively or negatively on the performance of the turbine. The city of Mersin was selected in Turkey for this analysis through the application of air conditions obtained from the General Directorate of Meteorology in Ankara and resolve for accurate and detailed for each season throughout the year 2017, where the temperature varies from 0 to 35 degrees Celsius and humidity of 15 to 99 percent, as well as air pressure from 966.95417 to 1025.9 hPa. The effect of moisture was studied mainly by using thermodynamic laws in this paper.
