This allows regional comparisons and an identification of suitable wind farm sites. Based on these results, 14 test sites were selected for more detailed analyses using the Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) developed by Risø National Laboratory. The wind energy potential of Iceland is within the highest class as defined in the European Wind Atlas. Also, even modest wind farms are capable of producing as much energy over the course of the year as the smallest currently operational hydro- and geothermal power plants in Iceland. |
