Assessment of flicker owing to turbulence in a wind turbine placed on a hill using wind tunnel

摘要

This paper bequeaths particulars of impact of turbulence on the flicker produced in the wind turbine which is sited on that surface. This is achieved in a laboratory wind tunnel with small models of hills with different slopes and wind turbine. Different shapes of models of hills placed in a laboratory wind tunnel. Wind turbines are tested for those conditions. The paper provides an empirical model to find flicker in terms of hill topography. The exquisiteness of the model is that, it is expedient to sundry types hills on which the turbine is sited. Validation of model is carried out with comparative graphs revealed with readings recorded on a turbine in tunnel.
