Watch Giles & Pierre Episode 15

Topics and abstract submission – closed

The call for abstracts is now closed. Selected authors will be notified by the end of January.

Note to students: to facilitate participation, WindEurope may support travel and accommodation expenses (within limits) if the selected oral presentation is by a full-time student (e.g. PhD or similar).

Topics

The Resource Assessment Workshop will be constructed around the following main topics.

Under all topics, we will welcome presentations covering how to handle big data, how resource assessment can contribute to minimising the cost of energy, and how to reduce uncertainty.

Topic 1: Advanced Flow Modelling

Including, but not limited to:

  • Mesoscale modelling
    • Large wind farms and their interaction with the atmosphere
    • Reducing uncertainty in the prediction of the long term AEP
    • Bridging the gap between meso-scale and micro scale
  • Stability
  • Thermal flows and their impact on energy yield
  • Model nesting (including sensitivity to, and configuration of, feeder models)
  • Time-domain modelling
  • Uncertainties across the range of flow parameters and timescales

Topic 2: Siting and layout design optimisation

Including, but not limited to:

  • Hybrid wind farms with solar/storage solutions
  • Optimising wind farm design to minimise CoE and win an auction
  • Siting issues and approaches
    • Estimation of mean winds, extreme winds and turbulence intensities.
    • Estimation of wind shear and flow angles
    • Estimation of distributions and wind roses

Topic 3: Outputs in real conditions

Including, but not limited to:

  • Reconciling Pre-construction estimates with post-construction yields
  • Prediciting wind farm output in reality
  • New methods for accurately predicting wind turbine output in real world condition
  • Power curves in the real world

Topic 4: Measurements and analysis

Including, but not limited to:

  • Methods, tools and campaign results
  • Special focusĀ : Scanning LiDARs
  • Radar
  • Big data

Topic 5: Wakes

Including, but not limited to:

  • Modelling
  • Measurements
  • Validation of model results
  • Wakes from other operating or planned wind farms
  • Reducing uncertainty

General Abstracts requirements – for all topics

  • Innovative content: abstracts should contain new work, not yet published
  • No commercial content please: overtly commercial abstracts will receive low ratings.
  • Contribution to industry knowledge: abstracts should strive to present data or results that can contribute to bringing the industry forward.
  • The correct topic must be selected to ensure correct scoring. The content of the abstract must be topic-related. It is the responsibility of the submitter to ensure that abstracts are submitted under the correct topic.
  • Abstract format: plain text (no tables, graphs, charts or images).

Submission
