The boundary layer shear and buoyancy create three-dimensional turbulent eddies spanning a range of scales that form a continuous forward cascade of kinetic energy to the smallest scales of motion where energy is dissipated. As wind turbines grow in size and the integrated control of both turbines and wind farms spans greater distances, the relationship between the scales of atmospheric turbulence and the design and operation of wind energy facilities has entered new territory. The boundary layer turbulence impacts both wind turbine power production and turbine loads. While the characteristics of atmospheric boundary layer turbulence have been observed and studied in detail over the last few decades, there are still significant gaps in our understanding of the impact of turbulence on wind power resources and wind farm opera-tions.

Extreme weather - direct effects • Cut-out wind speed 25 m/s different criteria (temporal and by wind speed) • Wind turbine turns into the wind • pitch mechanism turns the blades minimising the surface, decreasing drag on a blade – stop spinning • Mechanical disc brake applied Storm protection - Storm control/High wind operation functionality. Electricity production lack compared to planned – repercussions to financial models • Higher risk related to wind power (renewables) operation due to unpredictable changes in weather patterns in years to come – „fuel” direct link to natural forces and weather • Wind patterns are not constant, weather patterns are variable • Location and site selection extremely important, where and when to utilise natural resources • Appropriate wind turbine class selection – design • Additional protective systems • O&M – extremely important to keep the machinery in the best possible condition • R&D – future will bring us better options to satisfy our energy demand using renewable resources in sustainable manner Conclusions THANK YOU!

# Extreme Weather Events. An analysis conducted by NLR researchers and energy meteorology consultancy Sharply Focused will help system planners, policymakers, and researchers assess the operation of future power systems during extreme weather events. In a grid with large shares of wind and solar generation, when hot or cold temperatures producing high demand coincide with periods of low energy resources across broad areas, the result is high residual demand that must be met by storage, traditional power sources, or demand response. In a power grid with large shares of energy generation, periods of high system risk no longer correspond only to peak load hours and are associated with a broader and more nuanced range of weather conditions. 1. Will increasing levels of wind and solar generation intensify the challenges of reliably operating the power system during extreme weather events?

# Increasing extreme winds challenge offshore wind energy resilience. Climate change is amplifying the intensity of extreme strong winds, threatening the development and resilience of offshore wind energy systems. The ability of wind turbines to endure such conditions is determined by the fifty-year return period wind speed (*U**50*), a key parameter for turbine design. Here, we utilize hourly ERA5 wind speed data at 100 meters above sea level from 1940 to 2023 to reveals a significant global increase in oceanic *U**50* of 0.016 m s⁻¹ yr-1 (*p* < 0.01), with upward trends evident in 62.85% of coastal regions. Notably, over 40% of both commissioned and planned offshore wind farms in Asia and Europe have encountered wind speeds exceeding the design threshold of Class III turbines (37.5 m s⁻¹). More than half of these wind farms are situated in regions with increasing *U**50* trends, a pattern strongly associated with changes in tropical and extratropical cyclone activity under global warming.
