The predictability of wind information in a given location is essential for the evaluation of a wind power project. Predicting wind speed accurately improves the planning of wind power generation, reducing costs and improving the use of resources. This paper seeks to predict the mean hourly wind...

Wind power generated by wind has non-schedule nature due to stochastic nature of meteorological variable. Hence energy business and control of wind power generation requires prediction of wind speed (WS) from few seconds to different time steps in advance. To deal with prediction shortcomings,...

The availability of hourly wind speed data is becoming increasingly important for ensuring the proper design of wind energy conversion systems. For many sites, measured series of such high resolution are incomplete or entirely lacking; hence the need for a model for synthesizing wind speed data.

In this paper we present an evolutionary approach for the problem of discovering pressure patterns under a quality measure related to wind speed and direction. This clustering problem is specially interesting for companies involving in the management of wind farms, since it can be useful for...

Sustainable development is closely associated with energy availability. It requires a continuous and efficient energy supply. Therefore renewable energy sources such as wind energy are vital for the Indian economy not only from supply side considerations but also for their environmental and...

Local citizen participation schemes like the German "Bürgerwindparks" (citizen wind farm) have been an important vehicle to develop the wind energy business to its present state of market maturity. This article discusses ownership as an integrated part of the economic project design for...
