The wind energy potential of Iceland
It is characterised by annual average wind power density at 50 mAGL of >250 W m −2 over sheltered terrain, >700 W m −2 along the open coast, and >1800 W m −2 on top of hills and ridges. Based on the results from this study, it is clear that Iceland is well within that wind power class.

Answers to the UK''s wind energy storage issues are emerging
Wind power has since become a fundamental part of the country''s energy regime. From just over 3,000MW capacity in 2008, the UK can now boast capacity nearly eight times that, with over 20% of the nation''s electricity now created by turbines on lonely moorlands and in rough seas far from land. This is an impressive achievement, but
Offshore Wind in Iceland: Wind Resource Assessment in Faxaflói
This thesis builds a case study for an offshore wind farm in the Faxaflói bay, north of Reykjavík, by gathering cost data, using a software called WAsP to create a wind resource, and determine the LCOE of the project.
