Interaction between large wind farms and the atmospheric boundary layer
Accurate prediction of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow and its interactions with wind turbines is of great importance for optimizing the design and efficiency of wind farms. This study first focuses on recent efforts to develop and validate a large-eddy simulation (LES) framework for wind-energy applications. The subgrid-scale turbulent fluxes of momentum and heat are parameterized using ...

The growth in demand for electric power and the rapid increase in fuel costs, in whole of theworld need to discover new energy resources for electricity production. Among of the nonconventionalresources, wind and solar energy, is known as the most promising deviceselectricity production in the future. In this thesis, we study follows to long-term generationscheduling of power systems in the pre...
متن کاملTwo-scale momentum theory for very large wind farms
A new theoretical approach is proposed to predict a practical upper limit to the efficiency of a very large wind farm. The new theory suggests that the efficiency of ideal turbines in an ideal very large wind farm depends primarily on a non-dimensional parameter λ/Cf0, where λ is the ratio of the rotor swept area to the land area (for each turbine) and Cf0 is a natural friction coefficient obse...
متن کاملSmall and Large Scale Fluctuations in Atmospheric Wind Speeds
Atmospheric wind speeds and their fluctuations at different locations (onshore and offshore) are examined. One of the most striking features is the marked intermittency of probability density functions (PDF) of velocity differences – no matter what location is considered. The shape of these PDFs is found to be robust over a wide range of scales which seems to contradict the mathematical concept...
متن کاملAltering Kinetic Energy Entrainment in Large Eddy Simulations of Large Wind Farms Using Unconventional Wind Turbine Actuator Forcing
In this study, horizontally periodic large eddy simulations (LES) are utilized to study turbulent atmospheric boundary-layer flow over wind turbines in the far-downstream portion of a large wind farm where the wakes have merged and the flow is fully developed. In an attempt to increase power generation by enhancing the mean kinetic energy (MKE) entrainment to the wind turbines, hypothetical syn...
