abstract = {In this study, climate model simulations are evaluated with regard to the wind energy resource in Germany. Since accurate determination of local wind requires a high resolution, we consider simulations of Convection Permitting Regional Climate Models (CP-RCMs) with 3km resolution. We analysed RCP8.5 scenario simulations carried out i) within the EUCP project using the RCM REMO in convection permitting mode for the Central European domain (CEU-3) and ii) within the CORDEX FPS-Convection project that provides a model ensemble of CP-RCMs for the Pan-Alpine region (ALP-3). The models are forced with RCMs at intermediate resolution which are by itself driven with General Circulation Models (GCMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project – Phase 5 (CMIP5) for the two time slices 1996-2005 ('historical') and 2041-2050 ('near-future'). Wind energy yield is calculated at 100 m height by using 3 MW wind turbine parameters and a height correction method. The results are compared with observations from four different met-masts at different locations. The RCMs at intermediate resolution are closer to observations than the CP-RCM REMO while the ensemble of CORDEX FPS-Convection reveals that the difference between model and observations is highly model dependent. A significant climate trend in the comparison of 'historical' to 'near future' cannot be seen for Germany in both the EUCP and CORDEX FPS-Convection simulations.},
