Universal, Collective, and Nonlinear Structure of Wind Power Correlations

From Santa Fe Institute

Mahesh Bandi, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Wind energy production is inherently variable due to the turbulent nature of atmospheric winds, posing challenges for grid stability and integration. Understanding the statistical properties of wind power fluctuations is important for improving renewable energy reliability. Previous studies have shown that aggregated wind power from multiple turbines exhibits persistent and intermittent fluctuations, linked to turbulence. In this talk,...
