Abstract

According to the theory the wind speed dependence on height z can be modeled by: According to these definitions, stable and slightly stable atmospheric conditions are indicated respectively by ψ<−2.5 and −2.5 ≤ ψ < 0, or blue colors. Resource Distribution The wind resource is not only dependent on site-specific average power, but also on the local area available for placing wind turbines. [...]marine installation of wind turbines is dependent on depth. [...]when extrapolating winds to the height of turbines, the stability-based estimates ( Um ) are 0.5 to 0.75 m·s −1 lower than those obtained with the traditional log-law ( Ul ), which considers a neutral atmosphere.
