Basic, Advanced, and Sophisticated Approaches to the Current and Forecast Challenges of Wind Energy

Abstract

The article is a synthetic review of contemporary wind energy issues. It was created on the basis of a survey of literature from the last two years, with mainly review articles. This work is intended to be a source of information for a wide group of scientists and students from various fields. The aim is to interest them in a wide range of topics related to wind energy and wind turbines. This may allow for the selection of an area and the undertaking of research in this interesting and future-oriented field.

A Hot-Wire Anemometer with Automatically Adjusted Dynamic Properties for Wind Energy Spectrum Analysis

“…This method was used to determine the optimal dynamic response of the hot-wire anemometric system, which would ensure the system's maximum bandwidth-Figure 1. In such case, the system's bandwidth frequency fc can be determined on the basis of measured time Δt, which is the time interval in which the system's response reaches 3% of its maximum value (1). In such case, the system's bandwidth frequency f c can be determined on the basis of measured time ∆t, which is the time interval in which the system's response reaches 3% of its maximum value (1).…”

“…Among the many topics related to wind energy [1], there is a special group associated with precise measurements of flow parameters. Such topics include farm site assessment and wake interference among the wind turbines.…”

On Search for Unconventional Energy Sources for Harvesting

“…For example, a wind farm is a completely different project than a small turbine powering lighting or pedestrian crossing signals on the road. However, what size and number of turbines constitutes the limit remains an open question [2]. Therefore, it would be necessary to add other characteristics of this technology to the definition of energy harvesting, in particular those related to current requirements in the field of energy.…”
