The 3 km Norwegian reanalysis (NORA3) – a validation of offshore wind resources in the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We validate a new high-resolution (3 km) numerical mesoscale weather simulation for offshore wind power purposes for the time period 2004–2016 for the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea. The 3 km Norwegian reanalysis (NORA3) ... -
Development of an automatic thresholding method for wake meandering studies and its application to the data set from scanning wind lidar
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Wake meandering studies require knowledge of the instantaneous wake evolution. Scanning lidar data are used to identify the wind flow behind offshore wind turbines but do not immediately reveal the wake edges and centerline. ... -
Mitigation of offshore wind power intermittency by interconnection of production sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This study uses a unique set of hourly wind speed data observed over a period of 16 years to quantify the potential of collective offshore wind power production. We address the well-known intermittency problem of wind power ... -
Significant multidecadal variability in German wind energy generation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-12)Wind energy has seen large deployment and substantial cost reductions over the last decades. Further ambitious upscaling is urgently needed to keep the goals of the Paris Agreement within reach. While the variability in ... -
Turbulence in a coastal environment: the case of Vindeby
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The one-point and two-point power spectral densities of the wind velocity fluctuations are studied using the observations from an offshore mast at Vindeby Offshore Wind Farm, for a wide range of thermal stratifications of ...
