Global estimations of wind energy potential considering seasonal air density changes
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2019-11-15)
The literature typically considers constant annual average air density when computing the wind energy potential of a given location. In this work, the recent reanalysis ERA5 is used to obtain global seasonal estimates of ...
Sensitivity Studies for a Hybrid Numerical-Statistical Short-Term Wind and Gust Forecast at Three Locations in the Basque Country (Spain)
(MDPI, 2019-12-29)
This study evaluates the performance of statistical models applied to the output of numerical models for short-term (1–24 h) hourly wind forecasts at three locations in the Basque Country. The target variables are horizontal ...
An Energy Potential Estimation Methodology and Novel Prototype Design for Building-Integrated Wind Turbines
(MDPI, 2019-05-27)
ROSEO-BIWT is a new Building-Integrated Wind Turbine (BIWT) intended for installation on the edge of buildings. It consists of a Savonius wind turbine and guiding vanes to accelerate the usual horizontal wind, together ...
Seasonal Correction of Offshore Wind Energy Potential due to Air Density: Case of the Iberian Peninsula
(MDPI, 2019-07-02)
A constant value of air density based on its annual average value at a given location is commonly used for the computation of the annual energy production in wind industry. Thus, the correction required in the estimation ...
The Consequences of Air Density Variations over Northeastern Scotland for Offshore Wind Energy Potential
(MDPI, 2019-07-09)
Hywind-Scotland is a wind farm in Scotland that for many reasons is at the leading edge of technology and is located at a paradigmatic study area for offshore wind energy assessment. The objective of this paper is to compute ...
