Comparison of WAsP, MS-Micro/3, CFD, NWP, and Analytical Methods for Estimating Site-Wide Wind Speeds - (PPT)

摘要

Simple analytical models tested provided results with similar uncertainties to the numerical models investigated. Jack Kline model yielded promising results at 2 of the 3 sites modeled. WAsP and MS-Micro/3 performed equally. With all extrapolation methods, increasing the number of met towers that were used to model site-wide wind speeds decreased the uncertainty of the results. Uncertainty increased as terrain complexity increased for all models. RIX index corrections were found to decrease uncertainty for both analytical and numerical models. Careful consideration must be given when interpreting and using model results.
