The instantaneous wind power contained in the air current is directly proportional with the cube of the wind speed. In … practice, there is a record of wind speeds in the form of a time series. It is, therefore, necessary to develop a formulation … general wind power formulation in terms of the statistical parameters by using the perturbation theory, which leads to a …

A significant number of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analyses of renewable energy technologies is available in the … implementing renewable technologies. The article reviews approximately 50 papers, related to more than 100 different case studies … regarding solar energy (Concentrated Solar Power, Photovoltaic), wind power, hydropower, and geothermal power. A methodology for …

The present study develops a reliability assessment method of wind resource using optimum reservoir target power … operations that maximizes the firm generation of integrated wind and hydro power. A combined water resources model for a system …

Hourly means of wind speed time series recorded at two wind stations in central Argentina (one inland and the other … show an apparent exponential degree distribution. The v–k (value–degree) plot of the original wind series indicates that …

We present an algorithm that allows us to analyze the cross-correlation of wind velocity measured in different … for the development of multivariate models of wind. …

Because renewable energy resources are often located in sensitive and isolated environments, such as …

The techno-economic performance of a small wind turbine is very sensitive to the available wind resource. However, due … to financial and practical constraints installers rely on low resolution wind speed databases to assess a potential site … wind speed estimator, are accurate enough to estimate the techno-economic performance of a small wind turbine. Both the …

Climate data can be used in simulations to estimate the output of wind turbines in locations where meteorological … observations are not available. We perform the most comprehensive evaluation of the NCEP CFSR reanalysis model hourly wind speed … used in other studies both onshore and offshore. We investigate the impact of the topography, land use and mean wind speed …
