Abstract EN
This study utilizes a 30-year (1980–2009) 10 m wind field dataset obtained from the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecast to investigate the wind energy potential in the East China Sea (ECS) by using Weibull shape and scale parameters.
The region generally showed good wind characteristics.
The calculated annual mean of the wind power resource revealed the potential of the region for large-scale grid-connected wind turbine applications.
Furthermore, the spatiotemporal variations showed strong trends in wind power in regions surrounding Taiwan Island.
These regions were evaluated with high wind potential and were rated as excellent locations for installation of large wind turbines for electrical energy generation.
Nonsignificant and negative trends dominated the ECS and the rest of the regions; therefore, these locations were found to be suitable for small wind applications.
The wind power density exhibited an insignificant trend in the ECS throughout the study period.
The trend was strongest during spring and weakest during autumn.
