India: Lower Monsoon Wind Speed Has Impact on Wind Energy Production
Official Press Release Vaisala:
Indian monsoon wind speeds continue 20-year decline, but impact on wind energy industry is mixed across regions
Indian monsoon wind speeds continue 20-year decline, but impact on wind energy industry is mixed across regions / Findings by Vaisala highlight the need to assess potential climate change impacts when using long-term datasets in energy yield predictions
Wind speeds during India's annual monsoon season have fallen by as much as 9% over the past two decades, with three of the past four years also below average. This is according to research by Vaisala, a global leader in environmental and industrial measurement. Vaisala's latest analysis, performed on global reanalysis datasets, highlights the impact of this decline, both on wind energy production and on the suitability of long-term averages as a reference point for wind energy yield estimates.
