Assessing wind speed simulation methods

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016, vol. 56, issue C, 473-483

Abstract: In this paper simulation methods of wind speed series at different locations are reviewed. Over the last few decades wind farms (WF) have increasingly been introduced into electric power systems (EPS) in many countries. The strong relationship between wind speed and the power generated by a wind energy converter (WEC) has led researchers to reflect on the need to develop adequate models for simulating wind speed data. In recent years some proposals to meet this need have been published in the literature, and this paper aims to gather and discuss them.
