• Preliminary Assessment of Remote Wind Sites 

      Bilal, Muhammad; Araya, Guillermo; Birkelund, Yngve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08)
      Wind energy is becoming a reliable and affordable source of clean energy and is rapidly expanding to remote places around the world. A crucial input for wind farming prospect is the assessment of potential wind sites. Sites, especially remotely located, often do not have a wind resource map and thus lack credible historical records of wind resources. Measurement campaigns to map these sites are ...
    • Wind Energy at Nygårdsfjellet – Norway. Wind field characterization and modelling 

      Bilal, Muhammad (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-11-25)
      The research focuses on the characterization of wind flow over complex terrain of Nygårdsfjell and numerical wind flow modelling. In the context to research focus, the main contributions of this research thesis are within the following areas: Characterization of wind flow at the Nygårdsfjell wind farm, situated in the arctic circle in Norway. Wind data is collected from the anemometers installed on ...
    • Wind speed and direction predictions by WRF and WindSim coupling over Nygårdsfjell 

      Bilal, Muhammad; Birkelund, Yngve; Solbakken, Kine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      In this study, the performance of the mesoscale meteorological Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model coupled with the microscale computational fluid dynamics based model WindSim is investigated and compared to the performance of WRF alone. The two model set-ups, WRF and WRF-WindSim, have been tested on three high-wind events in February, June and October, over a complex terrain at the ...
