Semi-annual report of the Wind Characteristics Program Element for the period July 1977 through December 1977
Within the Federal Wind Energy Program, the Wind Characteristics Program Element (WCPE) is a service element established to provide the appropriate wind characteristics information to those involved in energy program planning, design and evaluation of wind energy conversion systems (WECS), selection of sites for the installation of WECS, and the operation of WECS. The program contributions are to consist of reliable estimates of wind characteristics pertinent to WECS design, effective analyses and methods for the determination of wind energy potential over large areas, dependable and cost-effective methodologies for the siting of WECS, and descriptions of the day-to-day variability and predictability of wind energy for WECS operations. To accomplish these goals, the WCPE has been divided into four technical program areas: wind characteristics for design and performance evaluation; mesoscale wind characteristics; development of siting methodologies; and wind characteristics for WECS operations.
