The wind data source is ERA5, 20 years average with a 1km resolution. If you indicate one coordinate the closest node within 1km is displayed. To get the exact datasets at a specific coordinate in a 100m resolution or a time series, a run from Vortex is needed that is integrated in Youwind model. …
Data Sources
Which bathymetry data are you using?
We have an API that provides GEBCO, General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans, data in 450m resolution. Should the user have other sources of bathymetry from e.g. a geophysical campaign then these can be uploaded also with the turbine positions. Then all the foundation, cost and financial parameters …
For some analysis I would like to compare with Global Wind Atlas wind data, can I use this data in Youwind model?
There is a method entering manual values but not as the effective wind speed but as the wind speed distribution with the Weibull function. Then, the wind speed will be an output of this distribution. The Global Wind Atlas wind speed has a 3km resolution, and you can get the Weibull Scale parameter A …
