Theoretical models capable of describing the performance of wind turbine arrays can be used to explore a wide range of parameters and to guide the design of more expensive and detailed numerical experiments. However their validity under realistic atmospheric conditions must first be established. In this study we aim to test one such theoretical model (Nishino, 2016, henceforth N16) under realistic forcing conditions, to attempt to identify the circumstances under which it succeeds, and also…

An extended theoretical model based on a two-scale coupled momentum balance method is proposed to estimate aerodynamic effects of wind turbine towers on the performance of both ideal (infinitely…

Two-scale interaction of wake and blockage effects in large wind farms

Abstract Turbine wake and farm blockage effects may significantly impact the power produced by large wind farms. In this study, we perform large-eddy simulations (LES) of 50 infinitely large offshore…

Tuning turbine rotor design for very large wind farms

A new theoretical method is presented for future multi-scale aerodynamic optimization of very large wind farms. The new method combines a recent two-scale coupled momentum analysis of ideal wind…

Two-scale momentum theory for time-dependent modelling of large wind farms

This paper presents a theory based on the law of momentum conservation to define and help analyse the problem of large wind farm aerodynamics. The theory splits the problem into two subproblems;…

Two-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…

In situ data analytics for highly scalable cloud modelling on Cray machines

This paper presents the analytics approach of MONC, where cores of a node are shared between computation and data analytics, and describes the IO server framework and analytics workflow, which is highly asynchronous.

FARM EFFICIENCY OF LARGE WIND FARMS: EVALUATION USING LARGE EDDY SIMULATION

Large eddy simulation study of fully developed wind-turbine array boundary layers

It is well known that when wind turbines are deployed in large arrays, their efficiency decreases due to complex interactions among themselves and with the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). For wind…
