Comparison of Predicted and Observed Turbulent Wind Fields Present in Natural and Internal Wind Park Environments

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

This paper assesses the accuracy of simulated wind fields for both the natural flow and that within a wind park environment. The simulated fields are compared with the observed ones in both the time and frequency domains. Actual measurements of the wind fields and the derived kinematic scaling parameters upwind and downwind of a large San Gorgonio Pass wind park are used. The deviations in themodeled wind field from the observed are discussed.
