LLL wind energy studies (Oahu)
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6531436
The role in the National Wind Energy Program assigned to LLL is the development and verification of a site screening methodology for wind energy resources. The site screening methodology and the Oahu studies of the past three years include: (a) 3-dimensional, diagnostic flow simulation over complex terrain, (b) modern statistical techniques of pattern recognition adapted to regional wind fields, and (c) remote sensing of atmospheric wind field by laser scintillation. By April 1979, the LLL team will provide the DOE with a suitable site screening methodology for wind energy, and a significant data base of two years duration for the island of Oahu including special wind stations on the Kaena and Kahuku subareas, and eight stations selected from the University of Hawaii studies. Some of the significant results of these studies are presented.
