The associated "database.zip" contains "newdt.dbf", a dbaseIII+ format file containing half-hourly data derived from the data logger at the Breamlea wind generator from 18 August to 24 December 1995. The fields are as follows: chardate date in character format dd/mm/yyyy time time in character format hh:mm:ss ALWAYS EASTERN STANDARD av_ws wind run in half hour expressed as average windspeed m/sec min_ws lowest windspeed in the past 30 minutes (5 sec samples) max_ws highest windspeed in the past 30 minutes (5 sec samples) dirn direction of wind (degrees from north) Note that Bass Strait is about 600 metres due SOUTH of this site. kwh kilowatt-hours (multipy by 2 for average power in kW) low_mins minutes in low speed mode (8 pole winding of generator) high_mins minutes in high speed mode (6 pole winding of generator) switches generator switching events in past 30 minutes datetime character string YYYYMMDDHHMM of date and time note 00:00:00 on 1 October becomes 2400hrs on 30 September no_shadow windspeed corrected for the fact that the anemometer is "in the shadow" of the wind generator in wind from the north-to-east sector. DUE TO INCREASING SIZE OF THE DATABASE, IT HAS NOW BEEN SPLIT INTO SMALLER FRAGMENTS HAVING THE FORMAT "mmmyyDBF.ZIP" where "mmmyy" is the month and year of the data set.
