Synthetic wind data

This dataset of synthetic wind speeds, for use in wind integration studies, includes multiple years of 10-minute time-stamped synthetic wind speed data at 15 actual or potential wind farm sites around New Zealand. The data can be used to simulate variations in the electricity output of wind farms.

The report and datasets are provided here for public use.

Note that time-stamps in the documents are New Zealand standard time.
