The trends in wind speed at a typical wind turbine hub height (80 m) are analyzed using the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) dataset for 1979–2009. A method, assuming the wind profile in the lower boundary layer as power-law functions of altitude, is developed to invert the power exponent (in the power-law equation) from theNARRdata and to compute the following variables at 80 m that a...

Mexico needs to exploit its renewable resources and many studies have determined the great renewable potential it has using wind energy. However it is necessary to calculate the amount of this resource for small urban communities, which in this country lack essential services such as electricity. This study is focused in the Baja California Peninsula, using GIS as a tool to identify small urban...

With the increased interest in using environmentally friendly sources of energy, wind energy has become a popular research topic. Although the availability of wind is unpredictable, wind power is capable of supplying hundreds of megawatts of power. As a result, wind energy is considered as a valuable supplemental power source. The main challenge associated with wind energy conversion is the was...

The infrasound levels due to the blade-tower interaction generated by a wind turbine in publication Pilger and Ceranna (JSV, Vol. 388, pp. 188-200, 2017) have be corrected interpreted as sound pressure level. Also, electrical power of should for high case 660 kW. We provide reanalysis measured data with spectrum showing low-frequency signal about 34 dB below original work. All at distance 200 m...

This study based on investigation for integration wind power into conventional power system with its impact on fossil fuel generators and their generation management. Wind power as environmental friendly energy source can reduce the operational cost of the system due to considering no cost for energizing the generator in comparing with fossil fuel generators. However due to unpredictable nature...

Miller and Kleidon (1) study future global deployment of wind turbines. They use a general circulation model (GCM) with 2.8° resolution to simulate the electricity generation for different wind-power deployments using global constant installed capacity densities. Results from the simulations with the maximum electricity generation over land and over water form the foundation for their study: a ...

according to this fact that wind is now a part of global energy portfolio and due to unreliable and discontinuous production of wind energy; prediction of wind power value is proposed as a main necessity. in recent years, various methods have been proposed for wind power prediction. in this paper the prediction structure involves feature selection and use of artificial neural network (ann). in ...
