Veers Paul. Wind Energy Modeling and Simulation. Volume 1. Atmosphere and Plant

The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2020. — 424 p.to optimize the yield of wind power from existing and future wind plants, the entire breadth of the system of a plant, from the wind field to the turbine components, needs to be modelled in the design process. The modeling and simulation approaches used in each subsystem as well as the system-wide solution methods to optimize across subsystem boundaries are described in this reference. Chapters are written by technical experts in each field, describing the current state-of-the-art in modeling and simulation for wind plant design. This comprehensive, two-volume research reference will provide long-lasting insight into the methods that will need to be developed for the technology to advance into its next generation.Volume 1 covers the computing challenges in full turbine modeling, then discusses bridging scales in the atmosphere and turbulence modeling, wind forecasting, wind plant flow, and plant level controller design.
