-1-PREFACE
This report deals with field measurements performed at the
CWO 2000 wind pump in operation
at the Eindhoven testfield,
between 85-03-28 and 85-08-10.
Earlier measurements were reported by Henk Oldenkamp in reports
R 696 D and R 709 D.
The measurements in this report concern experiments to improve
the low overall performance. In order to have a fashionable
presentation, the report is divided in three parts:
part I:
RESULTS OF MEASUREMENTS
- changes in measuring conditions compared to earlier
measurements
- survey of the measurements
- results of the measurements
part II:
MEASURING BACKGROUND
- description of the testfield
- description of the measurements
- test circumstances of the CWO 2000
part III: MEASURING DETAILS
plot data - and binsort presentation of those
measurements used in part I.
PART I
-2-RESULTS OF MEASUREMENTS
Changes in measuring conditions
I.
It was decided to use the anemometer 1n the rotor plane for
the performance calculations.
Measurements with wind directions 1n line with the row of
windmills, were excluded (exclusion angles 60 deg. wide at
both sides).

2.
Experiments have been undertaken with an electronically
regulated piston valve: the valve is kept Open by an
electromagnet at starting}the electromagnet 1S switched
off when a given rotor speed is attained.
This "closure speed" could be set electronically.
The aim was to investigate if such a starting device would
be better than a starting hole; it was of course not meant
as a practical solution in the field.
3.
The measurements started (on March 28) with a PVC pump cylinder;
this was replaced on April
17
by a
stainles's 'steel cylinder
4.
Apart from measurements with the electronically regulated
valve, for comparison also measurements with a starting hole
were done. The starting hole diameter was 2.8 rom, contrary to
the 2 rom of earlier measurements.
Survey of the measurements
The table presents a survey of the measurements done.

the mill can be running at Ad almost immediately after starting.

-b-From fig. 2a (N
=
0.5
rls)
the PVC-cylinder looks slightly
c
better, but the performance is as we have seen, very sensitive
to the closing speed, so no hard conclusions can be drawn.
In fig. 2b (Nc
=
0
rls),
the RVS-cylinder is at first better
than PVC, later on it is not so clear. Wear and tear of the
bearings can have influences, too.
Recommendation:
The PVC- and RVS-cylinders have to be compared on the pump
test rig.

appears to be the best
c
choice. It is clear that the choice of the closing speed
is rather critical for a good performance.

This figure clearly shows the superiority of the electronic
valve. The results have been compared with "theoretical"
curves (based on wind tunnel and pump test rig measurements,
so not including transmission losses, aerodynamic losses due
to yaw, etc.). In fact, two theoretical curves are given, one
with
n
h
=
0.65 (which is the efficiency normally measured
mec
on the pump test rig of this small pump) and
n
mec
h
=
0.80
(which was the efficiency measured of the pump with a floating
valve~
The floating valve acts similar to the electronic valve:
at low speeds the valve remains open (it floats on the
water), at higher speeds the valve closes because of
hydrodynamic forces). The floating valve was measured on
the pump test rig recently; it will be reported soon.
Somehow the configuration of this valve seems to lead to
a better efficiency).

In disk 24 and 25, the stroke of the pump was diminished from
0.1 to 0.075 m. This was done to simulate a larger starting
hole, from 2.8 rom to 3.5 rom.

It clearly makes no sense to enlarge the starting hole
diameter.
Conclusions
1.
The measurements do not give a clear answer if differences
exist between PVC and RVS cylinders.
A comparison should be done on the pump test rig.
2.
The performance of the pump with electronically regulated
valve is very sensitive to the closing speed N .
c
3.
The performance of the pump with electronically regulated
valve is
f~r
better than that of the pump with starting hole.
The pump with floating valve probably will have about the
same characteristics as the pump with electronically regulated
valve.

Introduction
The Wind Energy Group of the Physics DepartMent of the
Eindhoven University is one of the participants
i~CWO,
Consulting Services Wind Energy for Developing
Countries. The CWO tries to help governMents,
institutes and private parties in the Third World, with
their efforts to use wind energy and in general to
prOMote the interest for wind energy in Third World
countries. Special attention is given to Mechanically
driven water pUMping windMills.
In an early phase of the project the need for a testing
facility for full scale water pUMping windMills was
felt.
In Eindhoven, close to the preMises of the Wind Energy
Group, a test field was established. Its Main objective
is testing and iMproving newly designed windMills, as
well as developing testing procedures.
This report describes the Measuring Method used at the
CUD ZOOO in the period
85-03-Z8 until 85-08-10. This
data can be found on DATA OISK ZO through 27.
Z
Oescription of the test field
The test field is situated on the terrain of the
Eindhoven University of Technology. Eindhoven lies in
an inland region of relatively low wind speeds (4.0 to
4.5
Mis
in open terrain>, Moreover, the city and the
University buildings shade the site frOM the
predOMinant south westerly winds. The test site is
situated 1n the Middle of an open field in the east
side of the University's terrain (see fig.
1).
The
field is covered by grass and low bushes. North, east
and south at a distance of apprOXiMately
80 Meter frOM
the windMill test site, the field is bordered by a row
of dense trees and bushes. West of the test site, at a
distance of apprOXiMately
80 Meter, a row of spaced
trees is found. Height of these trees is apprOXiMately
- I
~
-The
wind~illlocations at the test site are arranged in
a NNW-SSE line, In this way the
wind~illswill
experience a wind flow, which is not affected by each
others wake, for wind directions
fro~WNW to SSW and
fro~
NNE to ESE, which are the
~ost i~portantwind
directions to be expected, (see the wind run rose in
fig. Z), Four wells are drilled at the test site.
ranging
fro~6 to 50
~,Since the natural ground water
level is at Z to 3
M.
and
wind~illsare to be tested to
far greater depths, the wells are totally closed to
prevent any
infiltra~ionof the ground water. In the
wells an arbitrary water level can be realized.

The windMills are arranged in closed loop
wate~circuits (see fig. 3). Water is pUMped frOM a well into
a SMall open vessel in a tower and flows back through a
flow Meter circuit into the well.
Three Masts were erected at the test field. A
12
M Mast
(in this report called kvdl Mast) was installed at the
west side, and carries aneMOMeters and windvanes as weI
as water vessels. The distance of this Mast is within 2
to 8 rotor diaMeters frOM all windMills. Therefore
aneMOMeters in this Mast May be used for output
MeasureMents according to the lEA standards (Reference
1)
for wind directions between WNW and SSW. In the line
of windMills a Mast is included. which May be used for
wind run MeasureMents without selection of wino
directions. It is well exposed to the Main wind
directions WNW to SSW and NNE to ESE. see also above.
East of the line of windMills a Mast is
1n5~dl1ed.which is used for testing Meteorological equipMent. and
which May be.used for output MeasureMents in

Description of the forMula prograMs
For the elaboration of the MeasureMents two forMula
prograMs were written for the Mill (a forMula prograM
is a user prograM for the Main elaboration prograMs,
these prograMs are described in reference Z>. The first
forMula prograM gives the outputs of all sensors. No
forMula prograM to calculate MaxiMUM speeds was used,
as the ten-Minute averages of the windspeed have not
exceeded 10
MIs
in the Measuring period. The two forMula
prograMs for the CWO ZOOO calculate the following

( air te",perature)
In order to calculate the output perforMance according
to the recoMMendations of the lEA (see reference
I),
the values for the water flow are norMalized to an air
teMperature of 15 Deg C and an air pressure of
1013.3 MBar. The sa",e corrected value is also used for
the calculation of the efficiency (Cp-eta). Of course
for the calculation of the pUMp voluMetric efficiency
the uncoMpensated value is used.
In order to fulfil the recoM",endation of the lEA to
place the aneMoMeter between Z and 8 rotor diaMeters
frOM the wind Mill, the aneMoMeters in the
lZ '"
Mast
should be used for calculating the perfor",ance. Since
it was shown in Ref.3, however, that the aneMoMeter at
the windMill gives a More accurate indication of the
windspeed acting on the rotor, the signal fro", this
aneMOMeter was used in the calculations.
This iMplies that all winddirections could be accepted
except those which are More or less in line with the
