ABSTRACT
Solar energy has great potential for use in generation of electricity and as with all weather-driven sources of renewable energy, it is vital to understand the resource. This paper describes the approach that has been taken by 3TIER to generate high-resolution solar information. To date this work has been ...
An article on the advantages of accurate wind forecasts and the future challenges that utility wind power forecasting will face.
The FirstLook global wind dataset is the first high-resolution, methodologically consistent wind resource assessment of global extent. Computer simulations using a mesoscale numerical weather prediction model form the basis of the dataset. The dataset contains hourly values over a 10-year period, on a 2-arc-minute (approximately 5 km) resolution grid covering ...
3TIER has noted with interest the discussion regarding the upcoming Journal of Geophysical Research paper by Sara Pryor and coauthors entitled “Wind speed trends over the contiguous USA”. The links between climate change and variability and trends in wind speed have important potential implications for the wind energy industry, and ...
I. Introduction
This report summarizes the wind resource over the country of Bolivia at three heights above ground level (20, 50, and 80 meters) based on the results of sophisticated meteorological simulations completed by 3TIER Environmental Forecast Group, Inc. (3TIER) for the ...
