Evaluation and Bias Correction of the ERA5 Reanalysis over the United States for Wind and Solar Energy Applications

The applicability of the ERA5 reanalysis for estimating wind and solar energy generation over the contiguous United States is evaluated using wind speed and irradiance variables from multiple observational data sets. After converting ERA5 and observed meteorological variables into wind power and sol...
