High resolution wind resource assessment method based on mesoscale atmospheric model and CFD technology

The evaluation results of wind energy resources directly affect the economic benefits and healthy development of wind farms. Therefore, a high-resolution wind resource assessment method for wind farms based on mesoscale atmospheric model and CFD technology is studied to accurately simulate relevant data of wind resources and improve the assessment effect. The mesoscale WRF numerical model is used to solve the regional data of wind farms and obtain the mesoscale meteorological analysis data. According to the solution results of the mesoscale atmospheric model, the wind speed profile is established, the boundary conditions and initial conditions are extracted, and the CFD micro scale model is input to obtain the wind speed and wind speed frequency at the height of the fan impeller. In order to improve the accuracy of numerical simulation of micro scale CFD model, the large eddy simulation method is used to simulate the operation of wind farms. Complete theoretical power generation evaluation based on wind speed, wind speed frequency and generator power. The experimental results show that this method can accurately simulate wind resources and accurately evaluate the theoretical power generation of wind farms. The wind farm is rated as Level 3, and the wind frequency is mainly between 4 and 10 m/s. This method can ensure that the wind farm can generate electricity all year round without damaging the wind speed.
