Projected Future Wind Speed and Wind Power Density Trends over the Western US High Plains

Dynamic characterization and predictability analysis of wind speed and wind power time series in Spain wind farm

The renewable energy resources such as wind power have recently attracted more researchers’ attention. It is mainly due to the aggressive energy consumption, high pollution and cost of fossil fuels. In this era, the future fluctuations of these time series should be predicted to increase the reliability of the power network. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics and short-term predictabili...

Turbulent Wind Flow over a High Speed Train

Strong cross-winds may overturn trains, so an understanding of the fluid mechanics is important. To facilitate the proper estimation of the probability of a train overturning, accurate data for the aerodynamic rolling moment about the lee rail is essential. (Of course, many other parameters are required.) The flow of a turbulent cross-wind over a train moving across an embankment is complex, an...

Wind power distribution over the ocean

[1] Probability distribution and power density of wind speed over global oceans are computed from eight years of QuikSCAT measurements. They describe the variation and higher moments of wind speed that are critical in relating the non-linear effects of wind on electric power generation capability, shipping hazard, and air-sea exchanges in heat, water, and greenhouse gases. The power density dis...
