Data set

The data used is from from an actual operating wind farm, but identifying info is removed. I used this data from my current work. Source code and data located github link I have loaded this data into a folder called datafiles. Please be sure to load this file folder to you working directory.

Please make sure you have these libraries loaded:

library(knitr)
library(dplyr)
library(leaflet)
library(htmltools)
library(kableExtra)
library(lubridate)
library(ggplot2)
library(data.table)

General Wind Farm Information and Map Location

Below you will see general identifying information for a Wind Farm located in North Dakota, USA. I used the geo-tags (lat,long) for each wind turbine. This wind farm was used to complete and show the ability to use R Markdown that features a map created with Leaflet.

Some things to take notice when viewing the map:

• The R code is set to pick a random wind turbine of 56 in the wind farm to show as a red map icon, while all others are blue

• Map is interactive where you can zoom in and out

• If you are interested in the wind turbines there is link in the Information table for you.

Plot to show the past year’s Wind Speed vs Power Ouput

Th plot below is a very basic representation of a power curve chart for a wind turbine. You will see how wind speed and power are graphed against one another. You can see as wind speed increases the power output will increase (ramp up) as well. The wind turbine will max out power output at 3 megawatts (mw) and will slow and/or stop producing power as wind speed increases past 20 meters per second (m/s)
