Assessment of energy resources of Polish Baltic Sea areas
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2017, Vol 32, Issue 1
Abstract
The article presents spatial characteristics of energy fluxes recorded in the area of the Polish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the four-year period of 2013–16. Data presented in this work are based on results of forecast calculations with the application of numerical models of the atmosphere (HIRLAM) and sea (WAM and HIROMB). Conducted analyses were concerned with dynamics of physical phenomena above the sea surface (wind), on its surface (wind waves motion), and in its near-surface layer up to 4 m (seawater flows). Physical energy resources connected with these processes for subsequent four years were computed and compared with the amount of annual electricity output generated by conventional and renewable sources of energy. Such an analysis of estimated energy resources reveals that the resource is highly differentiated in terms of space and in individual years, and significantly exceed the annual production of Polish power plants.<br/><br/>
