The greatest energy potential was found in the offshore area of Phu Quy island (Binh Thuan province). The area, alone, can provide the 38.2 GW power generation capacity corresponding to the increasing renewable-energy demand by 2030 planned by the country. There is also a drawback of the wind resource, which is associated with strong multiple-scale temporal variabilities. The seasonal variability associated with monsoon onsets and daily variability associated with the wind diurnal cycles were found ranging 30-50%. Meanwhile, the inter-annual variability could reach up to 10%. These variabilities must be considered when designing wind farms and grids over the region. Additionally, due to the fact that the WRF model performed climatological features of the winds well against the observations, this results indicate that it can be useful tools for wind-power assessment as compared to other reanalysis or QuikSCAT data with courser spatio-temporal resolutions. date: 2019 date_type: published publisher: SOLA official_url: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/sola/advpub/0/advpub_2019-021/_article/-char/ja full_text_status: public publication: Scientific online letters on the atmosphere volume: 15 pagerange: 113-118 refereed: TRUE issn: 1349-6476 citation: Q.Doan, Van and Van-Nguyen, Dinh and Hiroyuki, Kusaka and Cong, Thanh and Du Van, Toan and Nguyen, Dinh Duc (2019) Usability and challenges of offshore wind energy in Vietnam revealed by the regional climate model simulation.
