Introduction - Wind and Solar Meteorological Resources Forecast

Meteorological Resource Forecasting and Prospect

The wind and solar prediction information is calculated by the high-resolution wind and solar numerical information production system. This is a system that high-resolution topographic information is reflected in the forecast data of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) operational model and calculates site-specific information about the target process and the spatial statistical downscaling method that applies interpolation for each weather variables. Currently, we produce wind and solar prediction information for the South Korea with a 100m spatial resolution, 1 hour temporal resolution, and 36 hours forecasting time, and provide it on this web-site.

Wind speed graph

An example of short-term forecasting information for wind energy sources is the wind speed distribution in South Korea. Wind speed of about 2 ~ 5m / s is blowing on land, while wind speed of over 4 ~ 7m / s is blowing on the sea, and there is a clear difference between land and sea. In addition, the land has a high wind speed in mountainous areas or island areas such as Jeju Island, and the wind speed increases toward the distant sea.

SWDN graph

An example of short-term forecasting information for solar photovoltaic sources is the spatial distribution of downlink radiation in South Korea. Due to the sunrise time, the east of the Korean peninsula has a higher downlink radiation than the west.
