Abstract

The goal of the mesoscale-to-microscale coupling (MMC) project is to build new high-performance-computing-based multiscale wind-plant simulation tools that couple a broad range of scales to enable the optimization of wind plants to ensure the efficient, reliable production and integration of future wind-generated electricity. To meet this goal, the project seeks to create, assess, and validate state-of-the-science atmospheric simulation methodologies to incorporate important mesoscale flow characteristics into microscale wind-plant simulations. This report covers details on the third year of the project.
