Downscaling of surface moisture flux and precipitation in the Ebro Valley (Spain) using analogues and analogues followed by random forests and multiple linear regression
(Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2011)
In this paper, reanalysis fields from the ECMWF have been statistically downscaled to predict from large-scale atmospheric fields, surface moisture flux and daily precipitation at two observatories (Zaragoza and Tortosa, ...
Historical Evolution of theWave Resource and Energy Production off the Chilean Coast over the 20th Century
(MDPI, 2018-09)
The wave energy resource in the Chilean coast shows particularly profitable characteristics for wave energy production, with relatively high mean wave power and low inter-annual resource variability. This combination is ...
Harmonized evaluation of daily precipitation downscaled using SDSM and WRF+WRFDA models over the Iberian Peninsula
(Springer, 2019-08)
There have been numerous statistical and dynamical downscaling model comparisons. However, differences in model skill can be distorted by inconsistencies in experimental set-up, inputs and output format. This paper harmonizes ...
MIDAS: A Benchmarking Multi-Criteria Method for the Identification of Defective Anemometers in Wind Farms
(MDPI, 2018-12-22)
A novel multi-criteria methodology for the identification of defective anemometers is shown in this paper with a benchmarking approach: it is called MIDAS: multi-technique identification of defective anemometers. The ...
Electricity production, capacity factor, and plant efficiency index at the Mutriku wave farm (2014–2016)
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)
Mutriku has recently become the first commercial wave farm to release its operating data. The plant has 14 OWC operating turbines, and this study has conducted an analysis of hourly data corresponding to the 2014–2016 ...
Using 3DVAR data assimilation to measure offshore wind energy potential at different turbine heights in the West Mediterranean
(Elsevier, 2017-09-19)
In this article, offshore wind energy potential is measured around the Iberian Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands using the WRF meteorological model without 3DVAR data assimilation (the N simulation) and with ...
The Sailor diagram – A new diagram for the verification of two-dimensional vector data from multiple models
(Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2020-07-15)
A new diagram is proposed for the verification of vector quantities generated by multiple models against a set of observations. It has been designed with the objective, as in the Taylor diagram, of providing a visual ...
Combining random forests and physics-based models to forecast the electricity generated by ocean waves: A case study of the Mutriku wave farm
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2019-10-01)
This paper combines random forests with physics-based models to forecast the electricity output of the Mutriku wave farm on the Bay of Biscay. The period analysed was 2014-2016, and the forecast horizon was 24 h in 4-h ...
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 ...
