Wind-farm wake recovery mechanisms in conventionally neutral boundary layers

Luca Lanzilao, Johan Meyers

Synthetic-aperture radar images and mesoscale model results show that wind-farm wakes behave very differently than single-turbine wakes, e.g. with wakes that seemingly narrow and d…

A meso-micro atmospheric perturbation model for wind farm blockage

Koen Devesse, Luca Lanzilao, Johan Meyers

As wind farms continue to grow in size, mesoscale effects such as blockage and gravity waves become increasingly important. Allaerts & Meyers (J. Fluid Mech., 2019) proposed an atm…

A parametric large-eddy simulation study of wind-farm blockage and gravity waves in conventionally neutral boundary layers

Luca Lanzilao, Johan Meyers

We present a suite of large-eddy simulations of a wind farm operating in conventionally neutral atmospheric boundary layers (CNBLs). A fixed 1.6 GW wind farm is considered for 40 d…

Bayesian uncertainty quantification framework for wake model calibration and validation with historical wind farm power data

Frederik Aerts, Luca Lanzilao, Johan Meyers

The expected growth in wind energy capacity requires efficient and accurate models for wind farm layout optimization, control, and annual energy predictions. Although analytical wa…

An improved fringe-region technique for the representation of gravity waves in large-eddy simulation with application to wind farms

Luca Lanzilao, Johan Meyers

Large-eddy simulations of the atmospheric boundary layer are often performed using pseudo-spectral methods, which adopt a fringe-region approach to introduce inflow boundary condit…

A new wake-merging method for wind-farm power prediction in presence of heterogeneous background velocity fields

Luca Lanzilao, Johan Meyers

Many wind farms are placed near coastal regions or in proximity of orographic obstacles. The meso-scale gradients that develop in these zones make wind farms operating in velocity…
