Study on the wind energy potential of the Black Sea Continental Shelf in the coastal area of Romania

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: . The main objective of this paper is to analyse wind data from the western shore of the continental shelf of the Black Sea. For this study, winddata spanning a 10-year period (2014-2023) was collected and used from the ERA5 database. The analysis determined the seasonal nature of wind speed,with maximum values in winter and minimum values in summer. Using the Weibull distribution, the wind energy potential in the area was calculated, withvalues ranging between 528.9 – 757.7 W/m².
