Adaptive post-processing of short-term wind forecasts for energy applications

Sweeney, Conor; Lynch, Peter - 2010

We present a new method of reducing the error in predicted wind speed, thus enabling better management of wind energyfacilities. A numerical weather prediction model, COSMO, was used to produce 48 h forecast data every day in 2008 athorizontal resolutions of 10 and 3 km. A new adaptive...

Theoretical analysis of an airborne wind energy conversion system with a ground generator and fast motion transfer

Goldstein, Leo - In: Energy 55 (2013) C, pp. 987-995

A novel airborne wind energy conversion concept is presented, in which the wind power, which is harvested by the crosswind motion of a tethered wing, is transferred to a ground-based generator by a belt with a high speed close to the speed of the wing. The belt trails behind the wing. The high...
