Development of an optimum wind farm layout using four met masts

Site: Western Canada

Results:

  • The influence of the nearby sea is strongly overestimated by the model, this could be solved through a modified modelling of the roughness lengths.
  • Poor quality of the met mast data, inconsistent anemometer data
  • Due to the measurement heights being close together, no reliable vertical extrapolation is possible.
  • A first layout of the wind farm was developed. Due to a pronounced main wind direction, the wind turbines ware placed in several rows, with an adequate distance between these. However, the distance between neighbouring turbines could be strongly reduced.
