  1. 1. Case Study of Uncertainties Connected to Long-term Correction of Wind Observations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Elisabeth Saarnak; [2013]
    Keywords : wind climate; uncertainty; long-term correction; Measure-Correlate-Predict; MCP; reanalysis dataset; seasonal variation; on-site measurements; vindklimat; osäkerhet; normalårskorrigering; Measure-Correlate-Predict; MCP; återanalysdata; säsongsvariation; vindmätning;

    Abstract : Good knowledge about on-site wind climate is necessary in wind power assessments. Due to yearly and natural variability, short-term on-site measurements do not themselves give information about the wind climate. Long-term reference data can be used to correct the short-term observations to better correspond to a normal year. READ MORE

  2. 2. Investigation of wind potential variation at three measurement sites based on atmospheric stability and power production

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Lavan Kumar Eppanapelli; [2013]
    Keywords : AQ500; SoDAR; Met mast; statistical analysis; atmospheric stability; wind shear;

    Abstract : As tapping energy from wind expands rapidly worldwide, it is a common procedure to locate a practicable site to extract energy from abundant wind flow by building wind farms. Comprehensive understanding of wind resource at a site   is important to perform the main activities say, wind flow modeling, wind   turbines micro siting, annual energy yield calculation and cost of energy   estimation.

  3. 3. Making remote sensing bankable - cold climate SODAR and meteorological mast intercomparison

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Ian Engblom Wallberg; [2010]
    Keywords : SODAR; remote sensing; wind power; wind energy; SODAR; fjärranalys; vindkraft; vindenergi;

    Abstract : The value of an easy to install, accurate, far-reaching measurement instrument is easily understood when dealing with setting up and monitoring wind power parks. However the use of remote sensing equipment when doing this is a subject of much discussion amongst professional experts and scholars. READ MORE
