Can Meteorological Models Correctly Characterize Daily Cycles in Wind Generation?

August 3, 2022 admin berkeley lab, clean power, lawrence berkeley national laboratory, lawrence berkeley national laboratory (lbnl), university of california, wind energy

Credit to Author: Guest Contributor| Date: Wed, 03 Aug 2022 11:50:20 +0000

In the United States, the towers of new wind plants often measure greater than 90 meters in height and the rotors themselves can extend another ~60 meters up. The tremendous height of these structures means that wind speeds far above the surface can impact wind generation. The ability to accurately characterize wind speeds at these […]
