Investigation and Validation of Wind Turbine Wake Models

Investigation and Validation of Wind Turbine Wake Models This article discusses the application of widely used, state of the art, wake models, focusing on the Ainslie [1], Katic [2] and Larsen [3] models, breaking these down and explaining the individual, integral components. Models used to predict the turbulence intensity within the wake are also explained. Measured data are subsequently used to validate these wake and turbulence models, showing acceptable results for the prediction of velocity deficit within the wake, wake width and wake shape. Results also highlight the validity of the analysed turbulence models. The paper describes the problems encountered when using measured data to validate wake models and concludes by outlining subsequent work which could be carried out to further validate these models. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Wind Engineering SAGE

Abstract

This article discusses the application of widely used, state of the art, wake models, focusing on the Ainslie [1], Katic [2] and Larsen [3] models, breaking these down and explaining the individual, integral components. Models used to predict the turbulence intensity within the wake are also explained. Measured data are subsequently used to validate these wake and turbulence models, showing acceptable results for the prediction of velocity deficit within the wake, wake width and wake shape. Results also highlight the validity of the analysed turbulence models. The paper describes the problems encountered when using measured data to validate wake models and concludes by outlining subsequent work which could be carried out to further validate these models.
