2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 San Nicolas Island

San Nicolas Island (SNI) is the site of the Navy Range Instrumentation Test Site which relies on an isolated diesel-powered grid for its energy needs. As shown in Figure 1, the island is located in the Pacific Ocean 85 miles southwest of Los Angeles, California and 65 miles south of the Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS), Point Mugu, California. SNI is situated on the continental

shelf at latitude N33°14' and longitude W119°27'. It is approximately 9 miles long and 3.6

miles wide and encompasses an area of 13,370 acres of land owned by the Navy in fee title [1].

The island, generally treeless, is relatively flat on top and drops sharply off on the south side with a more gradual slope to the ocean on the north side. The island's shoreline is formed by cliffs. The interior terrain is a rolling mesa, extensively eroded with little vegetation, mostly coarse grasses and few large shrubs. Its highest point is 907 feet high. The western end contains large shifting sand dunes, and the eastern end has a large sand spit extending eastward. Cliffs on the southern side of the island rise sharply from the sea to 700 feet within a mile of shore; cliffs on the northern side of the island rise to the mesa at 300-400 feet above sea level [1]. A topographic map of the island is shown in Figure 2.

The average mean monthly temperature on SNI is 15°C (59°F). In general, daily maximum

temperatures vary from 16 to 21 oc (60 to 70°F), and daily minimum temperatures vary from 9 to

14°C (48 to 58°F). The coolest month is usually January, and the warmest month is usually

September. No freezing temperatures have been recorded on SNI, but temperatures over 38°C

(100°F) have been recorded several times. Precipitation averages only 20.1 em (7.91 inches) per year, and 86% of the rain falls from November through February. The relative humidity ranges from 57% to 100%.

Winds on San Nicolas are prevailingly northwest and are strong most of the year. The average wind speed is 7.2 m/s (14 knots) and seasonal variation is small. The windiest months, March through July, have wind speeds averaging 8.2 m/s (16 knots). The least windy months, August through February, have wind speeds averaging 6.2 m/s (12 knots)

Much of San Nicolas Island is used as the Navy Range Instrumentation Test Site. The island is equipped with facilities supporting metric radar, telemetry, Extended Area Test System, optics, communications, microwave, missile launching, drone launching, surveillance radar, and target control. The main support facilities include a runway, an air terminal, housing, a power plant, a fuel farm, a reverse osmosis water system, and a public works and transportation building [1].

2.2 Wind Energy Site Description

The wind energy site is located east-southeast of the center of the island, west of the airport, and along the island's crest, as shown in Figure 3. About 1.7 sq. krn (0.7 sq. mi.) in area, the site is the west portion of the quadrant bounded by Harrington Road, Owens Road and Monroe Drive. The highest elevation, 818 feet, occurs along Harrington Road toward Owens Road, from which the terrain slopes down to the north and northeast to 550 feet near Monroe Drive.

There are no trees or other wind obstructions on the site, just light vegetation including grasses and cacti. Parts of the site are very eroded and will require some fill and stabilization. Several low water tanks and buildings including the Power Plant Island Utilities are located upwind. The nearness of the power plant minimizes power line distances to the wind energy site.

This site has energetic winds year round. Although more optimal wind site locations may exist on the island, this particular site was selected so as not to interfere with radar, communications, and other naval operations, and to create minimum environmental and cultural impacts.

2.3 Wind Data Collection and Analysis

In J uly 1994, NREL entered into a cooperative agreement with NFESC to collect one full year of high quality wind energy resource data at SNI. We examinated this data in detail, and reviewed historical summary data in order to describe long term behavior.

Instrumentation: The new data was collected through a full wind-energy meteorological sensor

system including two anemometers, two wind vanes, a temperature probe, and a barometer. The sensors were mounted 30.5 m (100ft) high atop Facility No. 186, the FIC Communications Tower. Details of the instrumentation are presented in Table 1.

Data collection: Data collection began 14 July 1994, and the full year used in this study ran from 1 August 1994 (0000 hours) to 1 August 1995 (0000 hours). All data was sampled at 1 Hz and then stQred as 2-minute and 1 0-minute averages. The 1 0-minute average data was used for

this report.

Data analysis: Daily records of the 1 0-minute average wind speed are plotted for the full year in Appendix A. The annual records use monthly data averages, and the monthly records use daily averages. An annual record is derived for air density using

p =pI (R* T)

where pis density, p is pressure, T is temperature, and R = 0.286 kJI(kg*K) for air. Then wind power density is derived using

P I A = 0.5 * p * V3

where P is power, A is area, and V is wind speed. Using hourly average data, the diurnal wind speeds are created by computing an average for each hour of the day over all days in the period.

Wind direction data is difficult to present because the most common directions do not necessarily have the strongest winds. Therefore, this report includes three types of wind roses (in section 3.7): percent time at each direction, average wind speed at each direction, and time-weighted

average wind speed at each direction.

Uncertainty Analysis: Measurement precision and accuracy are shown for each sensor and the data logger in Table 2. For air density and power density these values are derived from their corresponding source channels using the square root of the sum of the squares [2,3].

3.0 WIND RESOURCE

3.1 Historical Data

The wind resource at most sites varies from year to year and, in fact, it can vary widely. For this

reason, it is prudent to review some long-term data at the nearest site available. Therefore, this section begins with a review of 32 years of wind speed data (1947-1978) at the SNI station

number 93116, compiled by Pacific Northwest Laboratories and managed by the National

Climatic Data Center [4]. Newer data is not yet available.

The anemometer locations changed several times for this collection of historical wind data, and therefore had different sensors, mountings, heights, exposures, and possibly drifting calibrations. The heights varied :from 4.6 m to 19.8 m, so each year's data was adjusted to this study's measurement height (30.5 m) using the 117 power law.

Readings generally were made 12-18 times a day- more often in the daytime -- thereby raising the possibility of skewing the averages with non-uniform intervals. Some bias toward lower wind speed measurements might be expected if more readings occurred in daytime, if unknown obstructions were present, or if old anemometers began to bind. Since these factors are not tractable, no attempt is made to account for them. The results of the historical wind speed data follow in Figure 4.

Interannual Variability in The Wind Resource: It is important to realize that a single year of

good wind data does not guarantee the same energy production each year. Examination of

historical data will help to quantify the interannual variability. The 32 year average wind speed at SNI is 6.1 m/s (11.8 knots) based on annual averages of hourly data, and the average of the annual standard deviations is 3.8 m/s (7.4 knots). But the standard deviation of the annual averages is 0.6 m/s, (1.2 knots) giving a variability of 0.6 I 6.1 = 0.10, or 10%. Despite our low confidence in the average wind speed, this variability implies that the annual average wind speed will fall within+/- 30% (3 standard deviations) 99% of the time, assuming these values are normally distributed. This can seriously affect energy production, as power is proportional to wind speed cubed. As an example, a 10% change in wind speed will cause about a 30% change in power; a 30% change in wind speed can alter power by a factor of three.

3.2 Current Data Statistics

Statistical analysis of the full year of NREL 10-minute data yields the results which follow in Table 3, and a full wind-speed distribution is presented in Figure 5.

3.3 Annual Meteorological Records

Annual records using monthly averages have been plotted for wind speed, ambient temperature, ambient pressure, air density, and power density. These plots appear in Figures 6-10. The source data was derived from NREL testing on SNI at 30.5 m (100ft) on Facility No. 186 for the period 1 August 1994 through 31 July 1995. Wind speeds reached their highest monthly average (10.3 m/s, 20 knots) in April and lowest (4.5 rnls, 8.7 knots) in February, with near average levels the rest of the year. Temperature and pressure cycled gently with more warmth and lower pressure in the summer, causing slightly lower summer densities. Power density looks like an exaggeration of wind speed, as expected from its cubic relationship.

Monthly records using daily average wind speeds are shown in Appendix B for each month from August 1994 through July 1995. Daily records based on 10-minute average wind speeds appear

in Appendix A, as mentioned earlier.

3.4 Annual Average Diurnal Wind Speed

Although the diurnal (or daily cycle) wind speeds may vary widely from day to day, certain trends exist at most sites. These trends can be elucidated by averaging many daily cycles

together. This is done by averaging the wind speeds for each hour of the day over the averaging period, in this case one year. For example, all wind speeds for 0000 to 0100 hours each day are averaged and labeled 0100, all wind speeds for 0100 to 0200 hours are averaged and labeled 0200, and so on. The annual average diurnal wind speed, as shown in Figure 11, is based on the NREL test data at 30.5 m (1 00 ft) on SNI Facility No. 186 from 1 August 1994 through 31 July 1995. The diurnal wind speed pattern shows a single cycle with a 6.1 mls (12 knots) average low at 1100 hours and an 8.6 m/s (17 knots) high at 2000 hours.

The same techniques used to calculate annual average diurnal wind speed distribution were used

to calculate monthly averages, using NRELISNI data. The monthly average diurnal wind speeds appear in Appendix C.

3.5 Prevailing Wind Direction

In this report "wind direction" refers to the source -- the direction from which the wind blows.

Wind direction data is difficult to summarize because of the need to show both the duration of

winds at different directions and the average wind speed at different directions, and these may not correlate well. As mentioned earlier, this data is presented three ways: percent time at each direction in Figure 12, average wind speed at each direction in Figure 13 a and b, and time­

weighted average wind speed at each direction in Figure 14 a and b. The time-weighted averages

will sound relatively low, since this calculation assigns a wind speed of zero for time not at the

given direction. However, the sum of these values equals the annual average wind speed (from all directions). The percent-time and time-weighted-average plots both show the primary wind direction out of the northwest to north by northwest, with occasional wind from the west and southwest. (Note: Figures 13a and 14a have the units m/s; figures 13b and 14b are in knots.)

4.0 CONCLUSION

The predominantly northwest direction of the wind would favor that end of the island for wind

generation, but facility operations confine any potential windfarm to the central region which was tested for this study. San Nicolas Island has an excellent wind resource at that central site, with an annual average wind speed of 7.2 rn!s (14.0 knots) as measured by NREL at 30.5 m (1 00 ft) at Facility No. 186 during the year ending July 31, 1995. The 32-year historical data set

shows an average wind speed of 6.1 rnls (11.8 knots), with a standard deviation on the annual averages of 0.6 rnls (1.2 knots). This also would indicate a good site, with annual averages falling between 4.3 rn!s (8.4 knots) and 7.9 rnls (15.3 knots). Although the historical data carries a statistical advantage in its duration, the NREL data had much higher quality control.

The annual wind speed pattern varied from a low of 4.5 rnls (8.7 knots) in February to a high of 10.3 rnls (20 knots) in April, based on one month averages. The diurnal cycle swung from 6.1 rnls (12 knots) at 1100 hours to 8.6 rn!s (17 knots) at 2000 hours. The mild effect of these cycles imply a fairly steady wind resource, which is favorable for supplemental wind energy. However, short term wind speed variations are significant, as indicated by the standard deviation of 4.8 rnls

(9.3 knots) and extremes ofO rnls (0 knots) and 28.5 rnls (55.4 knots). Such variations could place significant demands on a hybrid wind/diesel energy system design.
