چکیده مقاله:

Wind measurement is important for estimating wind energy potential, but it is relatively cost-intensive and often conducted at a narrow height from the ground level. The typical range of most turbine hub heights is from 30-50 m or even higher. Extrapolation on wind data thus becomes necessary to estimate the wind speed at different heights. Doing so requires the essential understanding of wind shear characteristics representative to a location or a region. The analysis is carried out from the vertical profile of meteorological observation collected from 50 m tower at Sathyabama University during the period of 2010-2014. The tower is located near the coastal region in Chennai. The tower is equipped with instruments to measure several meteorological variables. For wind speed and direction, they are routinely measured at different heights, which are considered well suitable for wind shear characterization. In this work, the characteristics of wind shear exponent at the tower were investigated and discussed, with emphasis on temporal (diurnal and monthly) variation and spatial distribution.

Wind Turbine Tower Resonance

Wind turbine towers are large structures designed to withstand the unique loading conditions imposed on them by the turbine’s nacelle and dynamic forces from the rotating blades. Observations and noise measurements of a particular wind turbine showed high noise levels at approximately 48 Hz, which could not be explained from the usual known potential noise sources. Correlated far field noise me...

Tropical sea surface temperature, vertical wind shear, and hurricane development

[1] The anomalously strong hurricane activity in the Atlantic sector during the recent years led to a controversy about the impact of global warming on hurricane activity in the Atlantic sector. Here we show that the temperature difference between the tropical North Atlantic and the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans (IndoPacific) is a key parameter in controlling the vertical wind shear over t...
