The choice of a suitable theoretical wind speed distribution is an important prerequisite for
accurate wind energy yield estimation. In this review, 46 studies published 2010–2018 …

The joint probability density function can quantitatively describe the statistical characteristics
and correlation features between wind speed and shear; this forms the theoretical basis for …

The anticipated greater penetration of the variable renewable energies wind and solar in the
future energy mix could be facilitated by exploiting their complementarity, thereby improving …

In a large number of previous studies, the technical wind energy potential was estimated
from national to global scale. Usually, it was assumed that the underlying meteorological …

An important aspect of planning the future expansion of wind energy is the consideration of
changes in available wind resources due to climate change. In previous studies simulations …

The statistical air density distribution was modeled on a high-spatial resolution scale (200
m× 200 m) and the error by using constant standard air density was estimated using …

The distribution characteristics of air density in China were modelled on a high-spatial-
resolution scale (4000 m× 4000 m) and the absolute error was calculated by comparing with …

Based on 12 global circulation models, the simulated changes in empirical 10 m wind speed
distributions under the representative concentration pathway RCP8. 5 were quantified. It is …

The best wind locations are nowadays often occupied by old, less efficient and relatively
small wind turbines. Many of them will soon reach the end of their operating lifetime, or lose …

Statistical methods to estimate wind resources at unsampled locations in a region can serve
as an initial step to identify locations that warrant further investigation. There has been an …
