  1. 1. Evaluating the accuracy of NEWA, ERA5 and NORA3 in predicting onshore wind conditions: a comparative study using ICOS meteorological mast data in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Svetlana Kuru; [2024]
    Keywords : NEWA; ERA5; NORA3; wind speed; wind distribution; correlation coefficient;

    Abstract : The ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5), the New European Wind Atlas (NEWA), and the 3 km Norwegian Reanalysis (NORA3) are reference datasets that are available for industry and research. The resolution of 3km in both the NORA3 and NEWA datasets sets them apart, while ERA5, with its 31km resolution, continues to serve as a reliable data source that is widely used in the industry.

  2. 2. ACCURACY OF ENERGY ESTIMATION FOR SMALL WIND FARMS BASED ON MESOSCALE WIND DATA

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Zhi MengHan; [2023]
    Keywords : Production simulation,windPRO,Mesoscale,WAsP;

    Abstract : As wind power is one of the main contributions to the energy transition, conducting the necessary production simulations during the development stage of a wind project can provide developers with an initial idea of its power generation potential. Existing wind farm production simulation studies have focused on data sources and time scales based on actual measurement wind data and annual production. READ MORE

  3. 3. WIND RESOURCE VARIATION BETWEEN MESOSCALE AND DOWNSCALED LINEAR WIND MODEL – COMPARISON OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS AND PROXIMITY TO BALTIC COAST

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jonas Deksnys; [2022]
    Keywords : Wind speed; mesoscale; microscale; WAsP; Lithuania;

    Abstract : This report analyses accuracy of wind speed predictions using wind atlases for the application of wind farm project development. The report aims to compare publicly available New European Wind Atlas (NEWA) mesoscale model data with the NEWA microscale model data. READ MORE

  4. 4. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF WIND ATLASES: WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT OF FORESTED SITES FOR WIND POWER DEVELOPMENT

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Joel Thomas; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Wind atlases are interactive databases used extensively for preliminary wind resource assessment aimed at optimal wind power development. The selection and processing of wind atlas data are important and will determine the quality of the subsequent WRA (Wind Resource Assessment) phases. READ MORE

  5. 5. COMPARISON OF THE WIND POWER PRODUCTION MODELS IN THE BALTIC SEA, A CASE STUDY IN THE LILLGRUND OFFSHORE WIND FARM

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Zhenyu Liu; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Wind energy, which is no emission of greenhouse gases, is attracting increasing attention world widely. Compared to onshore wind farms, offshore wind farms can yield greater power production since the wind speeds over the sea are higher and steadier than those over the land. READ MORE
