1 Analysis of the Wind Resource off New Jersey for Offshore Wind Energy Development
Hugh Roarty, Joe Riscica, Laura Palamara, Louis Bowers, Greg Seroka, Josh Kohut, Scott Glenn and Rich Dunk

2 New Jersey Renewable Goals
23% of its energy from renewable sources by 2021 The nation’s first offshore wind renewable energy standard which requires at least 1,100 megawatts (MW) by 2021 Currently at 0.0 MW

3 An Advanced Atmosphere/Ocean Assessment Program:
State of New Jersey New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) An Advanced Atmosphere/Ocean Assessment Program: Reducing the Risks Associated with Offshore Wind Energy Development As Defined by The NJ Energy Master Plan and The NJ Offshore Wind Energy Economic Development Act Principal Investigators: Dr. Scott Glenn and Dr. Rich Dunk, CCM Team Members: Dr. Josh Kohut, Dr. Hugh Roarty, Louis Bowers, Greg Seroka, John Kerfoot, Laura Palamara, Mike Crowley, Ethan Handel, Colin Evans New Ocean Data Hi-Res Weather Model Spatial Validation Data Wind Power Statistics -Demonstrate variability of the offshore wind resource for designated study area by using high resolution nested atmospheric WRF model -Validate modeling efforts with existing data as well as with developer’s coastal/offshore data (scanning LIDAR, axis LIDAR, three 60m coastal met towers) -NJ sea breeze has large impact on wind resource during peak energy demand season -Sea surface temperature is a critical input variable to the atmospheric model for producing accurate wind resource assessments; RUCOOL has developed a unique technique for declouding satellite imagery to ensure that coastal upwelling and storm mixing processes can be resolved -CODAR is a unique monitoring system for detecting surface currents and the associated spatial wind variability within the study area; wave data and spatial variability of the waves from CODAR can also be used to determine surface roughness features which is an input to the atmospheric model -This work can be used as a basis for a representative forecasting/predicting program
