ABSTRACT
The generation of electric power from wind-driven generators relies upon sufficient wind being available. In situations where there is an absence of sufficient wind, there is an intention to transfer power from another area where there is sufficient wind to produce power. However, in practice, it needs to be ascertained how frequently both areas may have wind deficiencies which coincide with each other. Data about the power generation from wind at different times in the United Kingdom and Germany is available and has been analysed to provide a quantitative evaluation of such behaviour. Wind speed data for the United Kingdom and Germany for an 8-month period (January and December 2015–2018) has been considered as a percentage of the maximum wind speed for each month and normalised to be in the range 0 (minimum) to 1 (maximum). The chromatic analysis and Bland and Altman processing indicated a high correlation between wind power-based production in midwinter across northern Europe.
