Wind Resource and Wind Power Generation Assessment for Education in Engineering [PDF]
Sustainability, 2021 This paper proposes a practical approach to assess wind energy resource and calculate annual energy production for use on university courses in engineering. To this end, two practical exercises were designed in the open-source software GNU Octave (compatible with MATLAB) using both synthetic and field data.

Characteristic velocity of strong wind for wind engineering purposes
Archives of Civil Engineering, 2023 Eurocode standard recommends using fundamental basic wind velocity (characteristic velocity) as the design value in civil engineering. There are different approaches to estimate this value depending on the climate features of the given area and the quality of environmental data.
