Associating Synoptic-Scale Weather Patterns with Aggregated Offshore Wind Power Production and Ramps

Large-scale weather patterns and their variability can influence both the amount of wind power production its temporal variation, i.e., ramps. In this study, we use a self-organizing map to cluster hourly sea level pressure into discrete number patterns. The dependency ramps on these is studied for Belgian offshore farm fleet. A newly developed wavelet-surrogate ramp-detection algorithm used identification It was observed that low-pressure systems, southwesterly northeasterly flows are often associated with high levels production. Regarding ramps, type transition between shown determine whether ramp up or down events would occur. Ramp tend occur due from high-pressure system, weakening intensity deep system. reverse events.
