Wind Speed and Power Density Analysis for Sustainable Energy in Batouri, East Region of Cameroon

This paper develops the modeling of wind speed by Weibull distribution in the intention to evaluate wind energy potential and help for designing small wind energy plant in Batouri in Cameroon. The Weibull distribution model was developed using wind speed data collected from a metrological station at the small Airport of Batouri. Four numerical methods (Moment method, Graphical method, Empirical method and Energy pattern factor method) were used to estimate weibull parameters K and C. The application of these four methods is effective using a sample wind speed data set. With some statistical analysis, a comparison of the accuracy of each method is also performed. The study helps to determine that Energy pattern factor method is the most effective (K = 3.8262 and C = 2.4659).

Changes in Wind Speed and Extremes in Beijing during 1960–2008 Based on Homogenized Observations

Daily observations of wind speed at 12 stations in the Greater Beijing Area during 1960–2008 were homogenized using the Multiple Analysis of Series for Homogenization method. The linear trends in the regional mean annual and seasonal （winter, spring, summer and autumn） wind speed series were-0.26,-0.39,-0.30,-0.12 and-0.22 m s-1 （10 yr）-1 , respectively. Winter showed the greatest magnitude in declining wind speed, followed by spring, autumn and summer. The annual and seasonal frequencies of wind speed extremes （days） also decreased, more prominently for winter than for the other seasons. The declining trends in wind speed and extremes were formed mainly by some rapid declines during the 1970s and 1980s. The maximum declining trend in wind speed occurred at Chaoyang （CY）, a station within the central business district （CBD） of Beijing with the highest level of urbanization. The declining trends were in general smaller in magnitude away from the city center, except for the winter case in which the maximum declining trend shifted northeastward to rural Miyun （MY）. The influence of urbanization on the annual wind speed was estimated to be about-0.05 m s-1 （10 yr）-1 during 1960–2008, accounting for around one fifth of the regional mean declining trend. The annual and seasonal geostrophic wind speeds around Beijing, based on daily mean sea level pressure （MSLP） from the ERA-40 reanalysis dataset, also exhibited decreasing trends, coincident with the results from site observations. A comparative analysis of the MSLP fields between 1966–1975 and 1992–2001 suggested that the influences of both the winter and summer monsoons on Beijing were weaker in the more recent of the two decades. It is suggested that the bulk of wind in Beijing is influenced considerably by urbanization, while changes in strong winds or wind speed extremes are prone to large-scale climate change in the region.

A Statistical Analysis of Wind Speed and Power Density Based on Weibull and Rayleigh Models of Jumla, Nepal

In the present study, wind speed data of Jumla, Nepal have been statistically analyzed. For this purpose, the daily averaged wind speed data for 10 year period (2004-2014: 2012 excluded) provided by Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) was analyzed to estimate wind power density. Wind speed as high as 18 m/s was recorded at height of 10 m. Annual mean wind speed was ascertained to be decreasing from 7.35 m/s in 2004 to 5.13 m/s in 2014 as a consequence of Global Climate Change. This is a subject of concern looking at government’s plan to harness wind energy. Monthly wind speed plot shows that the fastest wind speed is generally in month of June (Monsoon Season) and slowest in December/January (Winter Season). Results presented Weibull distribution to fit measured probability distribution better than the Rayleigh distribution for whole years in High altitude region of Nepal. Average value of wind power density based on mean and root mean cube seed approaches were 131.31 W/m2/year and 184.93 W/m2/year respectively indicating that Jumla stands in class III. Weibull distribution shows a good approximation for estimation of power density with maximum error of 3.68% when root mean cube speed is taken as reference.

Wavelet-Based Nonstationary Wind Speed Model in Dongting Lake Cable-Stayed Bridge

The wind-rain induced vibration phenomena in the Dongting Lake Bridge (DLB) can be observed every year, and the field measurements of wind speed data of the bridge are usually nonstationary. Nonstationary wind speed can be decomposed into a deterministic time-varying mean wind speed and a zero-mean stationary fluctuating wind speed component. By using wavelet transform (WT), the time-varying mean wind speed is extracted and a nonstationary wind speed model is proposed in this paper. The wind characteristics of turbulence intensity, integral scale and probability distribution of the bridge are calculated from the typical wind samples recorded by the two anemometers installed on the DLB using the proposed nonstationary wind speed model based on WT. The calculated results are compared with those calculated by the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and traditional approaches. The compared results indicate that the wavelet-based nonstationary wind speed model is more reasonable and appropriate than the EMD-based nonstationary and traditional stationary models for characterizing wind speed in analysis of wind-rain-induced vibration of cables.

Study on the operational safety of high-speed trains exposed to stochastic winds

The characteristic wind curve （CWC） was com- monly used in the previous work to evaluate the operational safety of the high-speed trains exposed to crosswinds. How- ever, the CWC only provide the dividing line between safety state and failure state of high-speed trains, which can not evaluate the risk of derailment of high-speed trains when ex- posed to natural winds. In the present paper, a more realistic approach taking into account the stochastic characteristics of natural winds is proposed, which can give a reasonable and effective assessment of the operational safety of high-speed trains under stochastic winds. In this approach, the longitudi- nal and lateral components of stochastic winds are simulated based on the Cooper theory and harmonic superposition. An algorithm is set up for calculating the unsteady aerody- namic forces （moments） of the high-speed trains exposed to stochastic winds. A multi-body dynamic model of the rail vehicle is established to compute the vehicle system dynamic response subjected to the unsteady aerodynamic forces （mo- ments） input. Then the statistical method is used to get the mean characteristic wind curve （MCWC） and spread range of the high-speed trains exposed to stochastic winds. It is found that the CWC provided by the previous analyticalmethod produces over-conservative limits. The methodol- ogy proposed in the present paper can provide more signif- icant reference for the safety operation of high-speed trains exposed to stochastic winds.

中国地表日平均风与日极大风气候特征的对比

据多项研究指出,中国地表平均风速在全球变暖的背景下呈现长期下降的趋势。而极大风速与平均风速特征变化是否一致,值得我们关注。通过对比分析国家基本气象站1951—2018年的地表日平均风速和日极大风速数据,结果表明:全国范围内,日平均风速主要集中在2 m·s^(-1)左右,而日极大风速主要集中在8 m·s^(-1)左右,这两种风速在青藏高原地区和内蒙古地区较大。此外,日平均风速出现小风速概率更高,而日极大风速的概率分布更接近于正态分布。从1960—2010年,日平均风速下降了19%,而日极大风速下降更为显著,达到20%。然而,在2010年之后,随着全球变暖的加剧,二者均略有回升,尤其是日平均风速的回升更为显著。这一结论强调了在全球变暖背景下持续关注和研究风速变化的重要性,有助于深入了解中国地表风速的变化特征,同时也为风速预报、风能开发等项目提供科学参考。

对数律和指数律风剖面的差异分析及其对桥梁抗风性能评价的影响

现有的公路桥梁抗风设计采用指数律风速剖面来计算各个基准高度的平均风速,然而气象学实践和一些国家规范中早已采用对数律风速剖面,两种风速剖面在不同高度处的平均风速差异及其对桥梁抗风的影响应当值得关注。对比了不同地表粗糙类型下对数律模型和指数律模型在不同高度处的风速差异,并采用ANSYS有限元软件计算了实桥在风荷载下的位移和桥塔弯矩差异。结果表明,在地表粗糙度较大和离地高度较大时,对数律和指数律模型的风速差异较为明显,风荷载的差异对桥梁内力和位移造成的影响不可忽略。有必要进一步研究这两种风速剖面模型在高空处的准确性,以更好地指导桥梁的抗风设计。

沿岸海上观测站点稀少,而沿岸陆地观测站点相对密集,开展海陆分布导致的海陆风速差异特征研究,实现由陆地观测风速估算海上风速,有助于提高海上大风预报服务能力。利用我国北方地区两组浮标及其邻近陆地观测站点的2016—2020年逐小时平均风速和阵风风速数据,统计分析海陆风速差异特征及规律,采用支持向量机方法,构建了基于陆地平均风速、陆地阵风风速、海陆站点距离、月份及观测时次的海上风速估算模型。利用另外两组海陆观测站2021年观测数据对估算模型进行检验,结果表明:对于6级及以上的平均风速和7级及以上的阵风风速,模型具有较高的估算准确率,模型估算的两个检验组的海上站点平均风速(阵风风速)RMSE分别为2.40 m·s^(-1)(3.20 m·s^(-1))和2.35 m·s^(-1)(2.57 m·s^(-1)),较ERA5分别减少了24%(14%)和23%(20%)。在一次温带气旋和冷空气共同影响的大风过程中,模型估算的两个检验组的海上平均风速(阵风风速)平均绝对误差分别为1.6 m·s^(-1)(2.3 m·s^(-1))和1.1 m·s^(-1)(1.5 m·s^(-1)),在极值时刻的平均风速(阵风风速)误差分别为-1.3 m·s^(-1)(-0.6 m·s^(-1))和-1.2 m·s^(-1)(-3.1 m·s^(-1)),均优于ERA5计算结果。基于支持向量机的海上风速估算模型能够利用陆地观测风速估算出较为准确的海上大风,可降低海上观测资料不足的影响,具有一定的应用前景。

1981-2020年河南省近地面风速时空分布特征

利用1981-2020年河南省日平均10 m风速观测资料,对河南省风速的时空分布特征进行了分析评估。结果表明,河南省风速的气候态具有明显的季节循环特征,在冬、春季节地表风速较大,夏、秋季节风速较小,并且呈现出东强西弱的空间分布特征。在年循环中2月到3月风速增幅最大,其余月份间的风速演变较为平缓。在风速变化趋势方面,空间分布主要表现为西升东降的特征,豫西从过去风速最弱的地区一跃成为近10年风速最大的地区,这也与其他地区风速整体变弱有关。风速EOF的第二模态表明,河南省风速同时也具有一定的年代际变化特征。此外,风速2-9年的年际变率弱于年代际的,即风速的短期变化具有平稳性;但在气候变化的大背景下,出现了系统性的变化趋势,且具有明显的区域性差异。

Investigations into Some Simple Expressions of the Gamma Function in Wind Power Theoretical Estimate by the Weibull Distribution

The Weibull distribution is a probability density function (PDF) which is widely used in the study of meteorological data. The statistical analysis of the wind speed v by using the Weibull distribution leads to the estimate of the mean wind speed , the variance of v around and the mean power density in the wind. The gamma function Γ is involved in those calculations, particularly Γ (1+1/k), Γ (1+2/k) and Γ (1+3/k). The paper reports the use of the Weibull PDF f(v) to estimate the gamma function. The study was performed by looking for the wind speeds related to the maximum values of f(v), v2 f(v) and v3 f(v). As a result, some approximate relationships were obtained for Γ (1+1/k), Γ (1+2/k) and Γ (1+3/k), that use some fitting polynomial functions. Very good agreements were found between the exact and the estimated values of Γ (1+n/k) that can be used for the estimation of the mean wind speed , the variance σ2 of the wind speed v;around the mean speed and the average wind power density.

坝陵河大桥桥位深切峡谷风剖面实测研究

用相控阵声雷达风廓线仪对坝陵河大桥桥址处深切峡谷中风剖面进行了实地观测,结果表明:在地形复杂的山区深切峡谷中,平均风剖面受峡谷地形影响较大,形态有时显得较为复杂而不规则,呈现锯齿形、正切变形或逆切变形等多样化。在峡谷的上半部,平均风速较大时其剖面相对较为规则,但不符合规范中描述平坦地貌平均风速剖面的幂函数形式,而具有e指数函数的变化规律。此外,统计显示,风向角在低空范围内受峡谷地形的影响要比在高空范围内严重,其在低空范围的变化幅度也要比在高空范围的变化幅度大。风迎角的散布范围和绝对值大小均随高度的增加呈减小的趋势。观测得到的峡谷湍流度大于平坦地貌湍流度的规范推荐值,同时峡谷湍流度具有一定的随机性,并且这种随机性随高度的增加而变大。
