Combination of geostatistics and self-organizing maps for the spatial analysis of groundwater level variations in complex hydrogeological systems

Successful modelling of the groundwater level variations in hydrogeological systems in complex formations considerably depends on spatial and temporal data availability and knowledge of the boundary conditions. Geostatistics plays an important role in model-related data analysis and preparation, but has specific limitations when the aquifer...

Quantifying the impacts of synoptic weather patterns on North Sea wind power production and ramp events under a changing climate

Only a few studies on the overall impact of climate change on offshore wind power production and wind power ramps in the North Sea region have been published. This study focuses on the characteristics of expected wind power production and wind power ramps in the future climate aided by the classification of circulations patterns using a self...

Associating Synoptic-Scale Weather Patterns with Aggregated Offshore Wind Power Production and Ramps

Large-scale weather patterns and their variability can influence both the amount of wind power production and its temporal variation, i.e., wind power ramps. In this study, we use a self-organizing map to cluster hourly sea level pressure into a discrete number of weather patterns. The dependency of wind power production and wind power ramps on...
