Abstract

The state of New Jersey has the goal of producing 23% of its energy from renewable sources by 2021. Offshore wind is envisioned as being part of that renewable portfolio. To meet this goal New Jersey passed the nation's first offshore wind renewable energy standard which requires that at least 1,100 megawatts (MW) by 2021. Currently NJ has 0 MW of offshore wind energy. In order to reduce the risk associated with installing these turbines, the Rutgers University Coastal Ocean Observation Laboratory has undertaken a two year study of the ocean winds and currents to provide insight to the wind farm developers to the best locations for siting the wind turbines. A 13 MHz HF radar network was installed to measure the surface currents every 2 km out to a range of 60 km from the coast. These surface current measurements were validated against surface wind measurements from available meteorological stations. The surface currents will then be used to validate the surface winds from a weather model that has been created for this program.
新泽西州近海风能资源分析
新泽西州的目标是到2021年实现23%的能源来自可再生能源。海上风电被设想为可再生能源组合的一部分。为了实现这一目标,新泽西州通过了美国首个海上风能可再生能源标准,该标准要求到2021年至少达到1100兆瓦(MW)。目前新泽西有0兆瓦的海上风能。为了降低安装这些涡轮机的风险,罗格斯大学沿海海洋观察实验室对海风和洋流进行了为期两年的研究,为风力发电场开发商提供选址风力涡轮机的最佳地点。安装了一个13兆赫高频雷达网络,以测量距离海岸60公里范围内每2公里的表面电流。这些地面电流测量值与现有气象站的地面风测量值进行了验证。然后,地表气流将被用于验证为该计划创建的天气模型中的地表风。
