2 OUTLINE MOTIVATION Pep Moreno. CEO, BASIS Alex Montornés. Modelling Specialist, VALIDATION Mark Žagar. Modelling Specialist, Vestas Q & A LES IS MORE!

3 Time series, why? LES IS MORE!

4 Time series, why? State-of-the-art resource analysis is based on distributions LES IS MORE!

5 Time series, why? If full time series were available, you could discriminate (day/night) LES IS MORE!

6 Time series, why? If full time series were available, you could cross-relate variables (TI vs. shear) LES IS MORE!

7 Time series, why? If full time series were available, you could analyse extreme events (ramps) LES IS MORE!

8 The advantages of measured time series compared to distributions are true What is not true is that the showed examples were measurements! LES IS MORE!

9 Have you ever wished to have a time series of measurements at each turbine position of your planned or existing wind farm? Large Eddy Simulations (LES) produces something outstandingly similar! LES IS MORE!

10 Guess which are the measurements and which are the model results LES IS MORE!

11 Measured time series are scarce (expensive) Distributions come mainly from windfield extrapolation (modeling): WAsP, CFD LES delivers probably the most measurementlike set of synthetic time series that atmospheric modeling can achieve today LES IS MORE!

12 LES IS MORE! LES produces real (physical) 10 averages LES IS MORE!

13 LES IS MORE! LES produces 3 samples (TI, gust ) LES IS MORE!

14 LES IS MORE! LES produces 3D results (shear and veer) LES IS MORE!

15 LES: -Powered by NCAR's cutting-edge WRF-LES model -Deliverables: 1 full-year, 10' averages, 3'' standard deviation (speed & direction) and gust (speed) -All heights included for shear and veer calculation -Available anywhere; no measurements needed -Validated at 100+ sites -Delivered in 5-6 days LES IS MORE!

53 How we are doing at microscale meteorological modeling?

54 Acchievable accuracy of dynamical downscaling What is dynamical downscaling? WRF-ARW, GFS 48h + 6h spin-up, 60 levels, 27 km Example 1: comparing long-term average wind speed at the anemometer height; Campaign, Turkey (complex): Significantly reduced prediction error with increased resolution. BIAS [m/s] MAE [m/s] STDE [m/s] 3 km km /3 km

55 Predicted park production [MWh/y] Acchievable accuracy of dynamical downscaling Example 2: wind farm production; estimated and observed Production data compensated for: Downtime Wake (based on standard wake models) Curtailed operations AEP Model only AEP Corrected using mast data MAE STDE EtotP WRF raw WRF corr 16.2% 18.2% 4.7% 8.0% 9.4% 2.7% Observed park production [MWh/y]

56 Purely downscaling of 1 o analyses

57 Downslope storm, hydraulic jump dx=100m Holton, 1992

58 Downslope storm, hydraulic jump dx=100m Data from nacelle anemometers overlaid

59 An example of sensitivity to the unknown

60 Important to know the wind profile m 120 m Actual Assumed Typical met-mast height ( ) > ( ) 2% wind speed error 5% AEP error

61 Important to know the wind profile + % over-predicted AEP Error committed if the wind shear between 40/80m is assumed to be valid up to 180m: in average 5% AEP! Rule of ( ) > ( ) 2% wind speed error 5% AEP error : 1 % AEP corresponds to 1 meur on a 100 MW wind farm
