dc.description.abstract | The successful realization of a wind energy project,
i.e. a wind farm, wind plant or, in its simplest form, a single
wind turbine generator, WTG, strongly depends on accurate
assessment of wind energy resources at the target location.
While larger wind energy projects include extensive wind
resource measurements, this is typically not feasible for smallscale
wind applications. This paper presents a simple linear
regression model for evaluating wind energy resources at
unmonitored sites, based on the correlational analysis of a
limited number of sites where wind energy measurements are
available. The methodology is illustrated on two regions in
Scotland, where wind speed and wind direction measurements
are publicly available from 26 UK Met Office stations. The
presented approach requires only the coordinates of the enduser’s
WTG location to estimate the available wind energy and
incorporates a method to identify the best-fit WTGs for the
calculated wind energy resource. For the selection of WTG, a
database of 200 small-scale wind turbines available to UK endusers
was constructed, reflecting the current state of the market. | en_IE |
