  1. Analysis of the Wind Resource off New Jersey for Offshore Wind Energy Development Hugh Roarty, Joe Riscica, Laura Palamara, Louis Bowers, Greg Seroka, Josh Kohut, Scott Glenn and Rich Dunk

  2. New Jersey Renewable Goals • 23% of its energy from renewable sources by 2021 • The nation’s first offshore wind renewable energy standard which requires at least 1,100 megawatts (MW) by 2021 • Currently at 0.0 MW

  3. State of New Jersey New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) An Advanced Atmosphere/Ocean Assessment Program: Reducing the Risks Associated with Offshore Wind EnergyDevelopment As Defined by The NJ Energy Master Plan and The NJ Offshore Wind Energy Economic Development Act Principal Investigators: Dr. Scott Glenn and Dr. Rich Dunk, CCM Team Members: Dr. Josh Kohut, Dr. Hugh Roarty, Louis Bowers, Greg Seroka, John Kerfoot, Laura Palamara, Mike Crowley, Ethan Handel, Colin Evans New Ocean Data Hi-Res Weather Model Spatial Validation Data Wind Power Statistics

  4. Ecological baseline studies of offshore wind power already performed (shown to left) • Avian species • Fisheries • Marine Mammals • Sea turtles • This project is the physical baseline study

  5. Rutgers University - Coastal Ocean Observation Lab Operations, Research & Education Center Vessels - Satellite Satellite CODAR Ships/ Vessels Glider REMUS Data Vis. Modeling Security Leadership Education Glider Fleet Satellite Data Acquisition Stations CODAR Network 3-D Forecasts

  8. Surface Current Mapping Capability 25 MHz Radar l: 12 m Ocean l: 6 m Range: 30 km Resolution: 1 km 13 MHz Radar l: 23 m Ocean l: 12 m Range: 80 km Resolution: 3 km 05 MHz Radar l: 60m Ocean l: 30 m Range: 180 km Resolution: 6 km

  9. 13 MHz Network

  10. Point Comparison

  11. HF Radar Derived Linear Wind Model Current Transient [U'] (cm/s) Wind Transient [W'] (cm/s) • Rotate wind vectors according to complex correlation • Calculate the slope and intercept of best fit line U'c(x,y,t) = slope(x,y)*W'(t)

  12. HF Radar CoverageJanuary 23 to May 7, 2012 NDBC or WeatherFlow Wind Record HF Radar Grid Point With at Least 70% temporal coverage
