Subproject PI: Jiun-Jih Miau / Yuan-Shiang Tsai
Subproject: Research on Metocean Characteristics of the Taiwan Strait
Outlines:
Attributed to the Taiwan Strait’s location in the region between the tropical and subtropical zones, the Strait is subject to typhoons in summer seasons and monsoon wind in winter seasons. Extreme wind speeds associated with typhoons and monsoon wind impose offshore wind turbines to risks. In this context, site-specific wind properties, such as atmospheric turbulence, gusts, and wind speed profiles, are the research emphases of the subproject.
