TY - JOUR AU - Hsu, Shih-Ang PY - 2021 DA - 2021/03/24 TI - Nowcasting Wind, Wave, Current and Turbulence Intensity for Offshore Wind Power Operation and Maintenance JO - Journal of Energy and Power Technology SP - 014 VL - 03 IS - 01 AB - In order to improve offshore wind power operation and maintenance (O&M), particularly during tropical and non-tropical cyclones, short-term forecasts or nowcasts up to 6 hours of meteorological and oceanographic (met-ocean) parameters including wind, waves, currents and turbulence intensity are needed. On the basis of numerous air-sea and wind-wave interaction experiments, datasets are analyzed including those from simultaneous measurements of wind and waves during Hurricane Wilma. Formulas are presented for nowcasts of met-ocean parameters. For quality assurance, these proposed formulas are further verified by independent datasets as provided in the literature. This manual-like guide should be useful for offshore wind-power O&M technicians and operators. SN - 2690-1692 UR - https://doi.org/10.21926/jept.2101014 DO - 10.21926/jept.2101014 ID - Hsu2021 ER -
