Advances in Wind Farm Flow Modelling Using CFD

Duration: 75 minutes

With the increasing demand to develop wind farms in non-ideal locations, and to maximize power yields from these wind farms, CFD is becoming an indispensable tool in planning and optimizing wind farms. Please view this recording to be updated on the latest developments in wind farm flow modeling using CFD currently underway at ANSYS. The recording will feature an introduction to the technical challenges and benefits of CFD simulation followed by a software demonstration of the automated workflow now available for onshore and offshore wind farm flow modeling. Some of the highlights will include: Complex terrain Wake-effects Forestry Use of Google Earth as a visualization tool

ANSYS CFD velocity results for offshore wind farm array including wake-effects

ANSYS CFD velocity results for complex terrain

ANSYS CFD turbulence intensity results including wake-effects and forestry
