Implementation and validation of an open source model for generating wind feed-in time series Masters’s Thesis Implementation and validation of an open source model for generating wind feed-in time series Submitted by Sabine Haas Student ID 339856 Berlin, January 23, 2019 Reviewers Prof. [...] Birgit Schachler Reiner Lemoine Institute Declaration of authorship I hereby declare that this Master Thesis on the topic of Implementation and val- ” idation of an open source model for generating wind feed-in time series“ and the work presented in it is my own work and the result of my research, unless stated otherwise. [...] - III - Abstract In this thesis an open source model for generating wind feed-in time series called Windpowerlib is implemented in Python and validated with measured feed-in time se- ries. [...] The validation is carried out with measured feed-in time series of wind parks in Schleswig-Holstein (coastal region) and Brandenburg (inland region) in Germany for the years 2015 and 2016. [...] Wind farm feed-in can be simulated with a deviation of 4.7 % (inland) and 3.4 % (coastal region) from the measured annual energy output (overestimation) by the Windpowerlib when using open FRED weather data.
