Extreme wind speed for wind turbines
Research presented herein provides the first publicly available homogeneous global assessment of a key parameter in wind turbine operating conditions and design standards—the extreme.
Research presented herein provides the first publicly available homogeneous global assessment of a key parameter in wind turbine operating conditions and design standards—the extreme.
Extreme design loads contribute to wind turbine selection and cost, and are determined in part by the fifty-year return period sustained wind speed (U50). Here we derive, evaluate, report and distribute a global, homogenized and geospatially explicit digital atlas of U50 and associated confidence intervals based on ERA5 reanalysis output at .
Extreme Wind Speed events (EWS) are responsible for the worst damages caused by wind in wind farms. An accurate estimation of the frequency and intensity of EWS is essential to avoid wind turbine damage and to minimize cut-out events in these facilities.
Wind energy siting studies require accurate wind data, and in particular the knowledge of extreme wind events (low-level jets, wind ramps, extreme shear and high wind speeds) is.
Extreme wind can damage wind turbines, cause losses to wind power plants, limit economic benefits of wind energy facilities, and disrupt regional grid balance. Therefore, an accurate assessment of extreme wind speeds at wind turbine hub height and their spatiotemporal variation under climate change is critical for the planning of wind energy .
