North Sea region energy system towards 2050: integrated offshore grid and sector coupling drive offshore wind power installations [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2020 This paper analyses several energy system scenarios towards 2050 for the North Sea region. With a focus on offshore wind power, the impacts of meshed offshore grid and sector coupling are studied. First, a project-based scenario, where each offshore wind

The most similar predictor – on selecting measurement locations for wind resource assessment [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2020 We present the “most similar” method for selecting optimal measurement positions for wind resource assessment. Wind resource assessment is generally done by extrapolating a measured and long-term corrected wind climate at one location to a prediction
