Wind energy resource atlas of Southeast Asia
TrueWind Solutions, LLC
The Wind Energy Resource Atlas of Southeast Asia covers four countries: Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. The purpose of the atlas is to facilitate the development of wind energy both for utility-scale generation and for village power and other off-grid applications. Potential users of the atlas include government officials, international lending agencies and development institutions, and private developers. The atlas was made possible by the development in the past three years of a sophisticated new wind mapping system called MesoMap. This system uses a dynamical mesoscale weather model to simulate historical wind and weather conditions for a representative sample of days from 1984 to 1998. The data inputs include terrain elevations, land cover, and vegetation greenness on a 1 km grid scale, as well as meteorological data such as gridded reanalysis weather data, rawinsonde data, and sea surface temperature measurements. The results of the simulations are presented as color-coded maps of mean wind speed and wind power density, both annual and seasonal, and tabulated frequency distributions and wind rose charts.
