Abstract:

Using sounding data from 2014 to 2018 in Liaoning province, the vertical wind profile variations in average horizontal wind speed were analyzed.Monthly and diurnal variations in the wind shear index of different height combinations were analyzed based on hourly gradient wind observation of two representative wind measuring towers.Wind speed and wind power at the upper tower were calculated by monthly, hourly, and annual wind shear indexes, respectively, which were then compared with observations.The results show that compared with Dalian, the wind speed in Shenyang increases more significantly with height, and the wind speed above 180 m remains constant, whereas the wind speed below 300 m rises uniformly in Dalian due to its low latitude and proximity to the ocean.Since the terrain is not complex enough, four layers of wind observation are set up at a certain height above 10 m from the ground, which are suitable for surface wind resource assessment.Influenced by solar radiation, underlying surface and thermal property discrepancies between sea and land, the diurnal variations of wind shear index in Liaoning province appear more significant than those of the monthly variations.Hourly wind shear index is superior to monthly and annual wind shear index in calculating wind speed and wind power at the upper tower.The more significant the diurnal variation of the wind shear index is, the better the calculation scheme using the hourly wind shear index appears compared with other calculation schemes.
