Wind atlas calcution from two meteo station (2004-12-20)

[Old Forum Archivist]

Hello,

Is it possible to input two diferent meteo stations in Wasp to calculate the wind atlas?



Thanks for your help,



Best Regards.

François,

Each wind atlas (aka Regional Wind Climate or *.lib file) data set is derived from one met. station (aka Observed Wind Climate or *.tab file) only.



So, with two met. stations you can generate two different wind atlases and use these to get two different Predicted Wind Climates or power productions - which can then be compared.



There also exist a possibility to combine (interpolate between) three wind atlases to get the wind atlas for a place in between the three met. stations. This is one of the programs in the WAsP Utility Programs package.

Hello,



When I have two masts close one to another, I can produce two wind atlases. At which point these two atlases must be similar to consider them representative for the whole region? Is there a limit in m/s in wind speeds between two wind atlases when they can be considered as completely different?



Thank you in advance
