Book Description
The effective integration of wind energy into the overall electricity supply is a technical and economical challenge because the availability of wind power is determined by fluctuating meteorological conditions. This book offers an approach to the ultimate goal of the short-term prediction of the power output of winds farms. Starting from basic aspects of atmospheric fluid dynamics, the authors discuss the structure of winds fields, the available forecast systems and the handling of the intrinsic, weather-dependent uncertainties in the regional prediction of the power generated by wind turbines. This book addresses scientists and engineers working in wind energy related R and D and industry, as well as graduate students and nonspecialists researchers in the fields of atmospheric physics and meteorology.
Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
"The book was triggered by the dramatically boomed wind energy utilisation. … It is a text book for boundary-layer meteorology, flow simulation, time series analyses and modelling of the behaviour of wind farms also. So the models are well described and their application for wind power prediction is demonstrated. … The book is provided for scientists and engineers mainly. The text is written very clear. It is completed by 89 figures and 13 tables." (K. Schäfer, Meteorologische Zeitschrift, Vol. 16 (3), 2007)
