1. Total Annual Saving Estimate 
 
 

 
New Page 1

Benefits: Avoided Fuel Cost

Fuel saved cannot be directly measured

Fuel saved depends on fuel that might have

been used

Assume:

  1. One wind-generated kWh (or unit) displaces one diesel-generated kWh

  2. All diesel-generated kWh use same amount of fuel

  3. Fuel use efficiency is assumed to be 60%

LOW WIND REGIME (4m/s)

= Total Wind Output / Fuel use efficiency

= 3,620* kWh / 0.6  *e400 Annual output @ 4m/s

= 6,050 liters of diesel

 

MEDIUM WIND REGIME (5.5m/s)

= Total Wind Output / Fuel use efficiency

= 6,420* kWh / 0.6   *e400 Annual output @ 5.5m/s

= 10,700 liters of diesel

 

HIGH WIND REGIME (8m/s)

= Total Wind Output / Fuel use efficiency

= 11,800* kWh / 0.6  *e400 Annual output @ 8m/s

= 19,650 liters of diesel

 

Benefits depend on:

  • Wind speed and air temperature

  • System sizing

  • Electrical demand

  • Diesel consumption with wind

  • Diesel consumption without wind

  • Fuel costs
