Wind resource assessment in southeast Finland

Wind power production in Finland is increasing in near future. Most of the existing and planned wind farms are located in the costal and fell areas where the highest wind speeds occur. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the inland wind conditions and wind power potential in South-Kar...

Zusammenfassung:Wind power production in Finland is increasing in near future. Most of the existing and planned wind farms are located in the costal and fell areas where the highest wind speeds occur. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the inland wind conditions and wind power potential in South-Karelia, southeast Finland, based on wind speed measurements in three locations and several heights. The results show that South Karelia has potential for wind power production with high enough hub heights.
