Towards global validation of wind powersimulations: A multi-country assessment ofwind power simulation from MERRA-2 andERA-5 reanalyses bias-corrected with theGlobal Wind Atlas

We provide here the results related to the article "Towards global validation of wind powersimulations: A multi-country assessment of wind power simulation from MERRA-2 andERA-5 reanalyses bias-corrected with the Global Wind Atlas"

Preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.05648

Code: https://github.com/KatharinaGruber/windpower_GWA

The results include

- simulated wind power generation time series with two reanalysis datasets (MERRA-2, ERA5) without and with bias correction with the Global Wind Atlas (GWA2 and GWA3) per windpark, only in the USA per state

- bias correction factor maps for different combinations of datasets (cf_*.nc)

- statistical parameters for evaluation of simulated time series (stats_*.csv)

The results are provided for each of the four analysed regions: Brazil, New Zealand, South Africa and USA
