Abstract
In this paper the influence of hub height on the on-grid small scale wind turbine-based power supply system for a community consumer is presented. Based on the wind and temperature site resources, on the technical and financial characteristics of two wind turbines (BE6 and BE10), assuming different CO2 penalties (0÷50 $/tCO2), different hub heights (18÷49 m), and using HOMER software, the following parameters are obtained: annual energy production AEP, [kWh/year]; annual energy purchased, [kWh/year]; annual energy sold, [kWh/year]; renewable fraction, [%]; annual CO2 emissions, [kg/year]; operating cost, OPC [$]; cost of energy, COE [$/kWh]; net present cost, NPC [$]. The optimal hub heights, in terms of COE and NPC, are: 24-30 m for BE10 wind turbine, depending on carbon dioxide penalties, and 24 m for BE6 wind turbine.
