An accurate quantification and characterization of the available wind resources is necessary to optimally design a wind farm. To effectively evaluate the wind energy, studying the wind's statistical characteristics is required. The probability distribution of wind speed is a very important piece...

Due to long-term, coal-based electricity generation, China’s power industry has produced not only heavy burdens on provincial coal supplies but has also caused serious environmental deterioration. This paper discusses the current status and future development trend of China’s power...

Offshore wind resources are more abundant and stronger and they blow more consistently than land-based wind resources. While gale force winds are easier to hit on the sea, the strong wind vibration and wind loads may exert severe damage and shock to wind turbines and wind power grids, even...

As the energy crisis becomes a greater concern, wind energy, as one of the most promising renewable energy resources, becomes more widely used. Thus, wind energy forecasting plays an important role in wind energy utilization, especially wind speed forecasting, which is a vital component of wind...
