- About this book
-
This book offers an introduction to the meteorological boundary conditions for power generation from wind – both onshore and offshore, and provides meteorological information for the planning and running of this important renewable energy source. It includes the derivation of wind laws and wind-profile descriptions, especially those above the logarithmic surface layer, and discusses winds over complex terrains and nocturnal low-level jets. This updated and expanded second edition features new chapters devoted to the efficiency of large wind parks and their wakes and to offshore wind energy.

Stefan Emeis is a meteorologist. He received his PhD at the University of Bonn, Germany in 1985 and his habilitation at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany in 1994. He is currently a senior scientist and research group leader at the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany and adjunct professor of meteorology at the University of Cologne, Germany. His research interests are the structure and turbulence of the atmospheric boundary layers, surface-based remote sensing of the atmosphere, the meteorological prerequisites for the usage of wind energy and all aspects of climate change.
He is the editor-in-chief of the scientific journal “Meteorologische Zeitschrift” and (co)author of more than 80 scientific papers and of several books.
