Eoltech has launched the findings of its newest examine geared toward assessing world wind useful resource variations during the last 15 years.
The corporate says its knowledge present that worldwide wind energy manufacturing could be very predictable, with annual variations inside a 3% vary. These outcomes are primarily based on the IREC index, the wind power index protecting 80% of the world’s onshore wind farms put in as of final yr. The corporate releases its findings every month for 300 geographical areas worldwide with the very best variety of farms.
By aggregating and weighting this knowledge, the corporate generated a “International” and “European” index. The International Index covers geographical areas which host about 80% of the world’s working onshore wind farms, whereas the European Index covers 97% of the continent’s working wind farms. The European Index reveals that wind useful resource annual variations are inside a 7% vary in Europe.
“Working wind farms expertise a big range of wind regimes, which trigger on a neighborhood scale important useful resource variability from one yr to a different,” says Eoltech CEO Habib Leseney.
“Regionally, the manufacturing of a wind farm can differ considerably from one yr to a different, as much as 25%, because of the variation of the wind useful resource. However on a bigger scale, cumulated manufacturing is way more steady. It also needs to be famous that our evaluation doesn’t present any downward pattern during the last 15 years within the world wind useful resource. Sure, the wind does at all times blow someplace on the planet, and it’s excellent news for wind energy going ahead.”
