Abstract Near-surface air temperature at the Argentinian research base Esperanza on northern tip of Antarctic Peninsula reached 18.3 °C 6 February 2020, which is highest ever recorded entire continent. Here we use weather observations since 1973 together with ERA5 reanalysis to investigate circulation that shaped 2020 event, and its context over past decades. We find that, during a high-pressur...

Preview wind speed measurements from a forward looking Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system located in the hub of a wind turbine can be used by a feedforward blade pitch control system to mitigate structural loads. For individual blade pitch control, a separate preview estimate of the effective wind speed encountered by each blade must be available. One way of providing an estimate of the...

Wind energy is a major source of power in over 70 countries across the world, and the worldwide share of wind energy in electricity consumption is growing. The introduction of significant amounts of wind energy into power systems makes accurate wind forecasting a crucial element of modern electrical grids. These systems require forecasts with temporal scales of tens of minutes to a few days in ...

Local renewable resources such as wind and solar are often available in remote locations. Wind farms consist of many individual wind turbines which are connected to the electric power transm­iss­i­o­n ne­tw­o­r­k­. A wind farm can use the wind resources from a certain area efficiently. Double-fed induction generator (DFIG) is a gene­rating principle widely used in wind turbine (WT). DFIG are ab...

This study investigates the feasibility of using a data-driven optimization approach to determine the coordinated control actions of wind turbines that maximize the total wind farm power production. Conventionally, for a given wind condition, an individual wind turbine maximizes its own power production without taking into consideration the conditions of other wind turbines. Under this greedy c...

We examined whether expertise effects are present in cutaneous wind perception. To this end, we presented wind stimuli consisting of different wind directions and speeds in a wind simulator. The wind simulator generated wind stimuli from 16 directions and with three speeds by means of eight automotive wind fans. Participants were asked to judge cutaneously perceived wind directions and speeds w...

introductionin comparison with fossil fuels which pollute the lower layer of the atmosphere, use of windenergy has many environmental and economic advantages. wind is a clean and renewableenergy resource and use of the energy in the recent decades has been welcomed so much in theworld. energy plays an important role in the development of each society. all differentactivities including housing, ...

Wind comfort and wind safety for pedestrians are important requirements in urban areas. Many city authorities request studies of pedestrian wind comfort and wind safety for new buildings and new urban areas. These studies involve combining statistical meteorological data, aerodynamic information and criteria for wind comfort and wind safety. Detailed aerodynamic information can be obtained usin...
