Abstract

This article includes the description of data information related to the research article entitled “The future of wind energy in California: Future projections with the Variable-Resolution CESM”, with reference number RENE_RENE-D-17–03392. Datasets from the Variable-Resolution CESM, Det Norske Veritas Germanischer Lloyd Virtual Met, MERRA-2, CFSR, NARR, ISD surface observations, and upper air sounding observations were used for calculating and comparing hub-height wind speed at multiple major wind farms across California. Information on hub-height wind speed interpolation and power curves at each wind farm sites are also presented.

The future of wind energy in California: Future projections with the Variable-Resolution CESM

Journal Article Wang, Meina ; Ullrich, Paul ; Millstein, Dev - Renewable Energy

Shifting wind patterns are an expected consequence of global climate change, with direct implications for wind energy production. However, wind is notoriously difficult to predict, and significant uncertainty remains in our understanding of climate change impacts on existing wind generation capacity. Historical and future wind climatology and associated capacity factors at five wind turbine sites in California are examined. Historical (1980–2000) and mid-century (2030–2050) simulations were produced using the Variable-Resolution Community Earth System Model (VR-CESM) to understand how these wind generation sites are expected to be impacted by climate change.

DNV GL Joint Industry Project on Coupled Analysis of Floating Wind Turbines

Technical Report Jonkman, Jason

This shared resource CRADA defines research collaborations between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Det Norske Veritas (Norway) and Germanischer Lloyd (Germany), known as DNV GL, an international certification body. Under the terms and conditions described in this CRADA agreement, NREL will participate in an offshore wind turbine Joint Industry Project (JIP) led by DNV GL, and including twelve other Joint Industry Project participants, to examine the coupled analysis methodologies needed for the design and verification of floating wind turbines. The international design standards are implemented by certification companies, such as DNV GL, the organizing agent of the JIP.more »« less

Lake Michigan Offshore Wind Feasibility Assessment

Technical Report Boezaart, Arnold ; Edmonson, James ; Standridge, Charles ; ...

The purpose of this project was to conduct the first comprehensive offshore wind assessment over Lake Michigan and to advance the body of knowledge needed to support future commercial wind energy development on the Great Lakes. The project involved evaluation and selection of emerging wind measurement technology and the permitting, installation and operation of the first mid-lake wind assessment meteorological (MET) facilities in Michigan’s Great Lakes. In addition, the project provided the first opportunity to deploy and field test floating LIDAR and Laser Wind Sensor (LWS) technology, and important research related equipment key to the sitting and permitting of futuremore »« less

Future projections of wind patterns in California with the variable-resolution CESM: a clustering analysis approach

Journal Article Wang, Meina ; Ullrich, Paul ; Millstein, Dev - Climate Dynamics

Wind energy production is expected to be affected by shifts in wind patterns that will accompany climate change. However, many questions remain on the magnitude and character of this impact, especially on regional scales. In this study, clustering is used to group and analyze large-scale wind patterns in California using model simulations from the variable-resolution Community Earth System Model (VR-CESM). Specifically, simulations have been produced that cover historical (1980–2000), mid-century (2030–2050), and end-of-century (2080–2100) time periods. Once clustered, observed changes to wind patterns can be analyzed in terms of both the change in frequency of those clusters and changes tomore »« less
