Simplified wake modelling for wind farm load prediction
This paper presents a simple numerical wind farm model, where pragmatic choices are made in the modelling of underlying physical processes, with the aim of making useful power production and wind turbine load estimates. The numerical model decomposes the wind farm, inspired by the approach of the dynamic wake meandering model (DWM), into simple sub-models for a single wake deficit (1D Gaussian), wake meandering (statistical), and wake added turbulence (eddy viscosity based). Particular attention is given to selecting a momentum conserving wake summation method, because of its critical role in coupling the influence of individual wakes. Results are presented to illustrate the influence that wake summation methods have on equilibrium velocity and power production in a row of turbines, for different inter-turbine spacing and inflow velocities. Comparisons against published data from the Lillgrund wind farm illustrate that the suggested modelling approach reproduces important trends observed in the field data. ; publishedVersion
