New Wind Energy Site Selection Methodology.

摘要

Major emphasis was placed on the testing and application of a 3-D mesoscale computer code SIGMET on wind energy site selection. Idealized problem calculations were carried out. These included several 3-D calculations representing flow over real terrain to help determine values of input parameters for satisfactory solutions and code improvements. Investigations were continued into the development of more accurate and economical methods for mesoscale simulation. They involved the partial implication of gravity waves,turbulence formation,and more accurate advection calculations. An analytical study of stability conditions was performed to provide guidance in code design and use. Field data for validation comparisons were also obtained. The report includes a summary of field data gathering,work and calculations on the 3-D SIGMET code,and a review of new techniques and analyses.
