Abstract

Wind power meteorology has evolved as an applied science ®rmly founded on boundary layer meteorology but with strong links to climatology and geography. It concerns itself with three main areas: siting of wind turbines, regional wind resource assessment and short-term prediction of the wind resource. The history, status and perspectives of wind power meteorology are presented, with emphasis on physical considerations and on its practical application. Following a global view of the wind resource, the elements of boundary layer meteorology which are most important for wind energy are reviewed:
wind profiles and shear, turbulence and gust, and extreme winds. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
