Feasibility of offshore wind in Australia

open access: yes, 2012
There is no offshore wind industry in Australia at present; however, offshore wind could have great potential. There is no published discussion of the economics of offshore wind on a national scale in Australia, so this paper offers analysis which may ...

Analysis of Wind Resource Characteristics in the Ulanqab Wind Power Base (Wind Farm): Mesoscale Modeling Approach

open access: yes
With the rapid development and construction of large-scale wind power bases under the “Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Goals” target, traditional wind energy resource assessment methods typically rely on a limited amount of wind mast data, providing

Best practices for wind energy in cold climates - resource assessment and site classification

open access: yes, 2015
Deployment of wind energy in cold climate (CC) areas is growing rapidly. Wind resources in CC areas are typically good and the areas are often low populated which makes these areas suitable for wind energy production.

Wind resource estimation

open access: yes, 1998
This paper will describe the different ways a region's or a site's wind climate can be estimated. The set of possibilities is limited only by the imagination of the authors! The ways differ in mainly the complexity and detail of the input data. The paper will describe each of seven ways and comment on advantages and disadvantages of each of them.
