Abstract:An important aspect in the design of wind farms and consequently in wind power production, is the sensitivity of wind turbines to wind gusts. This study aims at estimating the probability of occurrence of daily wind gusts for different atmospheric circulation regimes. The analysis is performed for a 30-year period (1979-2009) for the Hellinikon station in Athens, Greece. The proposed methodology estimates the probability of exceeding a wind gust speed value from the mean daily wind speed observations for a giv… Show more
