Short-Term Forecasting of Wake-Induced Fluctuations in Offshore Wind Farms

The increasing share of offshore wind energy traded at the spot market requires short term wind direction forecasts to determine wake losses and increased power fluctuations due to multiple wakes in certain wind directions. The information on potential pow ...

Wavelet variance scale-dependence as a dynamics discriminating tool in high-frequency urban wind speed time series

Dasaraden Mauree, Fabian Guignard

High frequency wind time series measured at different heights from the ground (from 1.5 to 25.5 meters) in an urban area were investigated by using the variance of the coefficients of their wavelet transform. Two ranges of scales were identified, sensitive ...

The vertical structure of precipitation at two stations in East Antarctica derived from micro rain radars

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli

Precipitation over Antarctica is the main term in the surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet, which is crucial for the future evolution of the sea level worldwide. Precipitation, however, remains poorly documented and understood mainly because of ...

Wind Energy Prediction in Highly Complex Terrain by Computational Fluid Dynamics

Fernando Porté Agel, Jiannong Fang, Daniel Jacob Tabas

With rising levels of wind power penetration in global electricity production, the relevance of wind power prediction is growing. More accurate forecasts reduce the required total amount of energy reserve capacity needed to ensure grid reliability and the ...

Performance enhancement of downwind sails due to leading edge flapping: A wind tunnel investigation

Julien Dominique Claude Deparday

This work presents a wind tunnel experimental study on the effect of the leading edge flapping on the aerodynamic performance of a spinnaker. Four J80-class spinnaker models, combining two different assembling structures (panel layout) and two different sa ...

Variability of wind turbine noise over a diurnal cycle

Fernando Porté Agel, Ka Ling Wu

The diurnal variation of atmospheric conditions over land has a significant effect on the wind and temperature distributions which greatly influence the generation and propagation of wind turbine aerodynamic sound. In this paper, a fully consistent unstead ...

Wind Turbine Wake Characterization with Nacelle-Mounted Wind Lidars for Analytical Wake Model Validation

Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort, Fernando Carbajo Fuertes

This study presents the setup, methodology and results from a measurement campaign dedicated to the characterization of full-scale wind turbine wakes under different inflow conditions. The measurements have been obtained from two pulsed scanning Doppler li ...

How Are Turbulent Sensible Heat Fluxes and Snow Melt Rates Affected by a Changing Snow Cover Fraction?

Michael Lehning

The complex interaction between the atmospheric boundary layer and the heterogeneous land surface is typically not resolved in numerical models approximating the turbulent heat exchange processes. In this study, we consider the effect of the land surface h ...

Incoming Wind and Wake Measurements of a Single 2.5 MW Wind Turbine Using Two Nacelle-Mounted Wind LiDARs for Analytical Wake Model Validation

Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort, Fernando Carbajo Fuertes

The two main effects of a wind turbine wake on those within its region of influence are: first, the wind speed deficit results in a decrease in the power production and second, a more turbulent flow results in higher unsteady structural forces, potentially ...
