1 Overview of Wind Atlas for South Africa (WASA) project WASA Project Team 13 March 2012, Cape Town, South Africa
2 Outline The WASA Project Team The First Verified Numerical Wind Atlas for South Africa The WASA Project Wind data and Observational Wind Atlas Verification and uncertainties And so what?!? What comes next? 2 Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
3 Who are we? The WASA Project Team SANERI (South African National Energy Research Institute) executing partner contracting the implementing partners coordination and dissemination UCT CSAG (Climate System Analysis Group, University of Cape Town) mesoscale modelling CSIR (Built Environment, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research) measurements and microscale modelling SAWS (South African Weather Service) extreme wind assessment DTU Wind Energy* (Dept of Wind Energy, Technical University of Denmark) partner in all activities * the original DTU partner (Risø DTU) is part of DTU Wind Energy established Jan Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
4 First Verified Numerical Wind Atlas for South Africa a map and much more Generalized climatological l i l (30 year) annual mean wind speed [m/s] ]100 m above ground level, flat terrain, 3 cm roughness everywhere 4 Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
5 First Verified Numerical Wind Atlas for South Africa the database In the WASA modelling domain wind climate data is available every 5 km 5 km corresponding to approximately virtual masts. Mid-term Workshops 14 and 16 March 2012 describe WASA methods, tools, products and their application. Data are available through wasadata.csir.co.za/wasa1/wasadata 5 Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
6 But how did we get there? The WASA Project presented at workshops Global Measurements G wind farm Mesoscale modeling Regional wind climate Microscale modeling Local wind Global wind resources 6 Presentations and links to information are available at the SANERI web site Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
7 So what else have we got? 10 WASA masts High quality wind measurements for verification of modelling WASA Data recovery (%) U 61.5m (m/s) WM WM WM WM WM WM WM WM WM WM Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
8 and WASA data 10-minute data, graphs and station information Everything available online in the public domain More than one full year of validated data Very good data recovery rate User statistics to date 444 registered users 380 users downloaded d d data downloads d 37 countries 8 Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
9 and Observational Wind Atlas database and report available through h wasadata.csir.co.za/wasa1/wasadata WM01 WM02 WM03 WM04 WM05 WM06 WM07 WM Wind speed at 80 m above ground level WM09 WM10 10 x 10 km grid WAsP resource grids from Observational Wind Atlas 10 x 10 km 2 grid 100 meter grid spacing 9 Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
10 So how good is it? Verification and uncertainties Verification is a key element One measure of quality is obtained by comparing wind atlas to measurements mean absolute error on wind speed of 5.6% This is state-of-the-art and as expected South Africa is challenging for wind resource modelling Model set-up modified Improvements done And so what?!? 10 Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
11 First Verified Numerical Wind Atlas for South Africa Uncertainties assessed Public domain Industry-standard Traceable and transparent Platform for future development Generalized climatological l i l (30 year) annual mean wind speed [m/s] ]100 m above ground level, flat terrain, 3 cm roughness everywhere 11 Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
12 Why Wind Atlas is important? Energy in wind P = ½ U 3 [W/ m 2 ] Wind power economics Investment costs Operation and maintenance costs Electricity production ~ Wind resources Turbine lifetime Discount rate Environmental benefits Wind speed U [m/s] the wind resource provides the income Mar 2012 WASA Wind Atlas Launch
13 Users Authorities Policies, i regulations, plans Planners Investors, owners and banks Developers (small and large) Industry (small and large) Power sector Consultants Academic community Resource and development planning Financial planning, risk assessment and decisions Project development Project design and implementation, Wind turbine design and development Power system planning, development and operation Independent expertise and tools development Research, methods and tools development All need the Wind Atlas, using WAsP or similar micro-scale model to calculate estimated energy production from wind farms as part of project and planning decisions. 13 Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
14 What comes next? Workshops 14 and 16 Mar 2012 Presentations and discussions Software clinic Invitation to feedback by users 30 June Project Commencement at contract signature 2009 March 2010 First public project workshop presenting Project plans, methods and tools First unverified wind atlas July/August WASA measurement stations in operation WASA phase 2 will address issues identified so far issues added through feedback September 2010 from users March2012 Midterm Workshop presenting We are looking forward to the feedback March 2014 Wind data publishing monthly on web site activated First Verified Numerical Wind Atlas according to standard proven and tested method after 1 year of measurements Final Workshop and Wind Seminar presenting Researched wind resource atlas Extreme wind atlas 14 Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
15 Acknowledgements The Wind Atlas for South Africa (WASA) project is an initiative of the South African Government - Department of Minerals and Energy (now DoE) and the project is co-funded by UNDP-GEF through the South African Wind Energy Programme (SAWEP) Royal Danish Embassy 15 Wind Atlas for South Africa project WASA Wind Atlas Launch 13 Mar 2012
