Nor Wind Power Generation Project

Which wind farms are repowering in Norway?

Repowering includes the Smøla, Hitra and Kjøllefjord windfarms in Central and Northern parts of Norway with an estimated increase in production of around 40 percent. Statkraft is at this moment looking at four possible wind power projects in Finnmark, Northern Norway.

Why do we need a wind project in Norway?

“We have fantastic wind resources in Norway. Onshore wind is the technology that can provide us with new power in the fastest and cheapest way before 2030. We should therefore develop the best wind projects so that we can contribute to both industrial development and emission cuts,” says Vartdal.

Could a floating offshore wind farm boost Norway's ambition?

A full-scale floating offshore wind farm like Trollvind could boost momentum towards realising the Norwegian authorities’ ambition to position Norway as an offshore wind nation, building on expertise from the oil and gas industry,” says Equinor’s chief executive, Anders Opedal.

Is the North Sea Wind power dataset suitable for principal component analysis?

Principal component analysis (PCA) of the 25 studied regions. To further examine the correlation patterns of the North Sea wind power data, we initiated a quantitative assessment of the dataset’s suitability for Principal Component Analysis (PCA) via the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy.

What is the average scale and shape of wind turbines in Norway?

Typical values for the average scale and shape parameters at the Norwegian offshore area are 9ms −1 ≤ a ≤ 12ms −1 and 1.7 ≤ b ≤ 2.7. The vertical distribution of the wind speed with height is relevant in wind energy application. Wind turbine height and rotor diameter are parameters that have been continuously increasing.
