Description
WINS50 provides wind speed, direction, temperature, pressure, and humidity at heights from 10 to 600 meters. The data is derived from a HARMONIE-AROME model simulation nested in ERA5 reanalysis, incorporating a wind farm parameterization for a 2050 scenario. It is produced by the Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties and covers a subdomain of the Netherlands.
Use Cases
Forecast wind energy generation potential based on projected wind speeds and turbine locations.
Analyze atmospheric stability and turbulence for turbine placement based on temperature and humidity profiles.
Model wind farm wake effects and efficiency using the integrated wind farm parameterization.
Validate and calibrate other regional climate models based on the high-resolution HARMONIE-AROME simulation.
Strengths
Includes multiple atmospheric variables: wind speed, direction, temperature, pressure, and humidity.
Provides data at a range of heights from 10 to 600 meters, relevant for turbine engineering.
Simulates a specific future scenario for wind farm locations and properties in 2050.
Limitations
