  1. 16. Developing boundary conditions usingthe nesting technique on simple terrain : A study of wind and turbulence intensity proles sensitivity

    University essay from Institutionen för kultur, energi och miljö

    Author : Raphael Desilets-Aube; [2011]
    Keywords : Lillgrund; turbulence intensity; WindSim; case study; actuator disc model; roughness length; boundary conditions;

    Abstract : As wind industry is developing steadily oshore, the wind turbine spacing remainsa key element for maximizing revenues and reducing loading from turbineswake interaction. In the case of relatively close to shore oshore wind farms, orlarge arrays onshore, the turbulence intensity coming from dierent sectors canhave an eect on wake growth and decay. READ MORE

  2. 17. Wind Flow Analysis on a Complex Terrain : a reliability study of a CFD tool on forested area including effects of forest module

    University essay from Institutionen för kultur, energi och miljö

    Author : Görkem Teneler; [2011]
    Keywords : Wind; Complex terrain; Forest; CFD; WindSim;

    Abstract : The main aim of this thesis is to compare actual power production from an existing wind farm with power production prediction by WindSim, which is a CFD tool based on the nonlinear flow model. The wind farm that is being worked on is located in Northern Sweden and has high orographic complexity with forested hilly terrain. READ MORE

  3. 18. Wind Speed Prediction using Global and Regional Based Virtual Towers in CFD Simulations

    University essay from Institutionen för kultur, energi och miljö

    Author : Roger Moubarak; [2011]
    Keywords : Global-Regional Global Model; Era Interim; StormGeo; WRF; ECMWF; Data Series; WindSim; Hindcast;

    Abstract : Wind farm assessment is a costly and time consuming process when it is planned by traditional methods such as a met mast. Therefore, new models have been established and used for the wind farm assessment to ease the process of wind farm planning. These models are Global-regional models which add to cost efficiency and time saving. READ MORE
