Wind energy physics and resource assessment with Python

Understanding the distribution of wind speed and direction, and harnessing the wind energy potential

It is no secret that Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) sources such as solar and wind energy are the crucial pieces to solve the puzzle of the global energy transition. While these energy sources are non-exhaustive and produce electricity at no fuel costs, the main challenges associated with them currently are their intermittency and uncertainty. The sun does not shine all the time, and the wind does …
