Improvement of Wind Power Assessment in Complex Terrain: The Case of COSMO-1 in the Swiss Alps

This work contains a series of calculations that explore the wind power potential in Switzerland using the Numerical Weather Prediction model COSMO-1. The model's performance was validated in complex terrain by comparing the modeled hourly wind speed to weather stations across Switzerland'...
