Possible effects of giant wind farms on the weather
Wind power can make a large contribution towards renewable energy targets but there are concerns about their impacts on the weather. A new study models the effects of a hypothetical giant wind farm in North America on the weather. The researchers suggest that it could be possible to use these effects positively. The EU set itself the target of increasing the share of renewables in energy use in ...

Nepal to finalise national wind policy
KATHMANDU] Nepal is set to finalise a draft national wind policy in the coming months, to harness wind energy's potential as a solution to its current energy crisis. The policy, prepared by Nepal's national wind task force (NWTF), will be finalised in the next three months, said NWTF member Manoj Kumar Mishra at a national workshop on wind energy this week (31 January). It aims to attract ...

NASA Satellite Measurements Imply Texas Wind Farm Impact On Surface Temperature
A Texas region containing four of the world's largest wind farms showed an increase in land surface temperature over nine years that researchers have connected to local meteorological effects of the turbines. The land surface temperature around the west-central Texas wind farms warmed at a rate of .72 degrees Celsius per decade during the study period relative to nearby regions without wind ...

Wind Power Forecasting with EA-PSM SAS
Free electricity trade market requires wind power producers to forecast day-ahead power generation. Mismatch between forecasted and real generation becomes direct losses for the wind power plant owner. However, due to intermittent nature of the wind, simple forecasting models usually are not good enough to reach satisfactory results. Automatic and self-learning algorithms are needed to ensure ...

Improved forecasts to identify the risk of icing on wind turbines
Icing is a well known problem at wind farms in cold climates. SMHI has mapped how conditions for icing appear. Researchers are working on developing forecasts that indicate a risk of icing on wind turbines. Development improves decision-making data An ensemble forecast consists of numerous parallel forecast calculations. Forecast uncertainty can be better assessed through improvements to models ...

OWA to support state-of-the-art BEACon dual Doppler radar project to reduce cost of energy from offshore wind
The Carbon Trust today announced its support for a state-of-the-art technology trial, through its Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA), to understand the viability of using dual Doppler radar to produce high-resolution dynamic maps of the wind flow through and around a wind farm. The measurement campaign is part of OWA partner DONG Energy's BEACon (Beamed Radar for Energy Assessment and Site ...
