Wind characteristics of three meteorological stations in China (Q5964347)

Summary: With rapid economic development of China, demand for energy is growing rapidly. Many experts have begun to pay attention on exploiting wind energy. Wind characteristics of three meteorological stations in China are analyzed to find out if or not it is possible to build a wind farm in this paper. First of all, studies about the wind characteristics and potential wind energy are summarized. Then, ways of collecting and manipulating wind data are introduced. Wind-generation potential is assessed by the method of Weibull distribution. Wind shear exponent, extreme wind speed in 50 years, and turbulence intensity are calculated. The wind characteristics are summarized and assessment of wind-generation potential is given. At last, the wind is simulated with the autoregressive method by Matlab.
