Wind power generation model download mobile version

What are wind speeds and generation based on?

The repository contains wind speeds and generation based on three different meteorological models: ERA5, MERRA2, and HRRR. Data are publicly accessible in simple csv files. Modeled generation is compared to regional and plant records, which highlights model biases and errors and how they differ by model, across regions, and across time frames.

What is a wind turbine dynamic model?

While there are many wind turbine dynamic models available in the literature [19, 36–39], the focus is largely on modeling variable-speed wind turbines. These models often oversimplify the mechanical drive train and aerodynamics, since the aim is to evaluate power and rotor speed control mechanisms.

Can a model reproduce wind turbine dynamics?

To demonstrate the model’s ability to reproduce wind turbine dynamics, a test was created. The wind turbine was operated with a constant wind speed (13 m/s). This wind speed was chosen to be the rated value. A voltage sag on the grid was simulated, and the real and reactive power response of the wind turbine was observed.

What are the different types of wind power models?

Models for wind power include distributed wind, utility-scale wind, and offshore wind. The REEDS model (Regional Energy Deployment System) is an example of a wind power model that simulates the evolution of the bulk power system, generation and transmission, from the present day through 2050 or later.

Where can I find wind speeds and estimated generation?

PLUSWIND provides wind speeds and estimated generation on an hourly basis at almost all wind plants across the contiguous United States from 2018–2021. The repository contains wind speeds and generation based on three different meteorological models: ERA5, MERRA2, and HRRR. Data are publicly accessible in simple csv files.

What is the plant-level US multi-model wind and generation data repository?

The Plant-Level US multi-model WIND and generation (PLUSWIND) data repository helps to address these challenges. PLUSWIND provides wind speeds and estimated generation on an hourly basis at almost all wind plants across the contiguous United States from 2018–2021.
