Abstract
This paper describes the "Database on Wind Characteristics", a
world wide web hosted database of wind time series suitable for
wind turbine designers. The paper marks the conclusion of the
initialising Joule project and presents the database as a
functioning and useful tool for the wind turbine community. An
overview of the current contents of the database is given. The
browser based search system is described and examples of wind time
series found using the search system are presented. The paper
concludes by placing the database in context, briefly mentioning
associated projects and describing how the database will continue
to function as an IEA annex.
