Site suitability assessment with dynamic wake meandering model. A certification point of view

摘要

The present work discusses the potential of the Dynamic Wake Meandering (DWM) model for site suitability studies, as an alternative to Frandsen's equivalent method, from a certification point of view. For this purpose, a comparative study of the wake effects predicted in several models, including various realizations of the DWM, has been carried out. This has led to the identification of basic requirements that an analysis based on DWM should fulfilled for the assessment of the structural integrity of a wind turbine under wake effects.
