Wind characteristics and wind energy assessment in the Barents Sea based on ERA-Interim reanalysis
Abstract The basic analysis of long-term wind characteristics and wind energy resources in the Barents Sea was carried out from 1996 to 2015 based on the ERA-Interim reanalysis dataset from ECMWF. In recent years, it has been possible to exploit the wind power resources in the Barents Sea at the hub...
