Modelling the Vertical Wind Speed and Turbulence Intensity Profiles at Prospective Offshore Wind Farm Sites
Monin-Obukhov theory predicts the well-known log-linear form of the vertical wind speed profile. A turbulence intensity profile can be estimated from this by assuming that the standard deviation of the wind speed is proportional to the friction velocity. Two parameters, namely the aerodynamic surface roughness length and the MoninObukhov length, are than needed to predict the vertical wind spee...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Wind Speed Distribution at Thasala,
The main objective of this paper was to analyze the statistical wind data obtained from measurements for the 12 months period of January to December 2008 at Thasala district in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, southern Thailand. The wind speed at heights of 20 m, 30 m, and 40 m above ground level were measured using 3-cup anemometers attached to booms on a 45 m lattice met tower. The recording int...
متن کاملEvaluation of Models for the Vertical Extrapolation of Wind Speed Measurements at Offshore Sites
Monin-Obukhov theory predicts the well-known log-linear form of the vertical wind speed profile. Two parameters, namely the aerodynamic surface roughness length and the Monin-Obukhov-length, are needed to predict the vertical wind speed profile from a measurement at one height. Different models to estimate these parameters for conditions important for offshore wind energy utilisation are discus...
متن کاملAirfoil Design for Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Operating at Variable Tip Speed Ratios
A new airfoil design method for H type vertical axis wind turbine is introduced in the present study. A novel indicator is defined to evaluate vertical axis wind turbine aerodynamic performance at variable tip speed ratios and selected as the airfoil design objective. A mathematic model describing the relationship between airfoil design variables and objective is presented for direct airfoil de...
متن کاملModelling Wind for Wind Farm Layout Optimization Using Joint Distribution of Wind Speed and Wind Direction
Reliable wind modelling is of crucial importance for wind farm development. The common practice of using sector-wise Weibull distributions has been found inappropriate for wind farm layout optimization. In this study, we propose a simple and easily implementable method to construct joint distributions of wind speed and wind direction, which is based on the parameters of sector-wise Weibull dist...
