洋上風況調査における風速の高度補正に関する新しい提案 : その2 : 福岡県北九州市響灘洋上風力発電の検討

Offshore wind energy development promises to be a significant domestic renewable energy source. There are two approaches to estimating the increase in wind speed with height: the power law method and the logarithmic method. Logarithmic extrapolation is derived mathematically from a theoretical understanding of how the wind moves across the surface of the earth. In contrast, the power law equation is derived empirically from actual measurements. For an assessment of offshore wind energy resources by using the weather GPV (MSM-S and LFM-S) wind speed data at 10m above the sea surface, a new wind speed vertical extrapolation method based on a power law was proposed in the present study. In addition, the numerical investigation of the offshore wind energy in the Hibikinada region was performed.
