7.3 Wind Energy Systems
Wind energy is a significant renewable energy resource which has shown rapid growth in recent years. The cost of wind energy has achieved reasonable values such that wind energy farms are now constructed in many locations around the world. Germany, Denmark, and Spain are the lead countries in installing wind energy capacities. Wind energy can be regarded as a meteorological variable signifying the energy content of the wind.
The important parameter for meteorological modeling of wind is the wind velocity. In meteorology an atmospheric boundary is considered for predicting the local or regional winds by simulation. Other meteorological variables such as temperature, pressure, and humidity of the atmosphere are also important ...
