Application of WRF mesoscale model for prediction of wind energy resources in Tanzania

This study gives an overview of the wind energy resource distribution within and of the coast of Tanzania. Wind speed predictions using WRF model at 60 m a.g.l, which is typically the height of turbine hub, are compared with the wind speed values obtained by extrapolating Final Analysis (FNL) wind s...
