The WRF Model Forecast-Derived Low-Level Wind Shear Climatology over the United States Great Plains

TL;DR: In this article, a new generation numerical weather prediction model, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, is utilized to determine whether it can reliably estimate the shear exponent and the magnitude of the directional shear at any arbitrary location over the USGP.

Nonlinear regression in environmental sciences using extreme learning machines

TL;DR: The extreme learning machine (ELM), a single-hidden layer feedforward neural network algorithm, was tested on nine environmental regression problems and it tended to be the fastest among the nonlinear models.

Meteorological conditions leading to extreme low variable renewable energy production and extreme high energy shortfall

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the meteorological sensitivity of a highly-renewable European energy system using large ensemble simulations from two global climate models, based on 3 × 2000 years of simulated weather conditions, daily wind and solar energy yields, and energy demand.

A methodological review to estimate techno-economical wind energy production

TL;DR: In this article, a set of equations for the evaluation of wind energy production in a given area is proposed, being the input data: mean wind speed and shape factor at any height or even just the average wind speed.
