Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
PO426: Observation and simulation of large-scale onshore wind farm clusters' wake propagation: a case study in Guazhou, China
Pengfei Zhang, Wind resource engineer, Goldwind
Abstract
This study investigates the potential wake effects of a large-scale wind power base on a meteorological mast located 30 km away. The wind power base, spanning 138 km × 43 km and comprising 4,800 turbines from 35 wind farms, has been operational for years. To quantify and characterize the wake impact at such a scale, we employed the Wind Farm Parameterization (WFP) within the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Two high-resolution mesoscale simulations were conducted: one accounting for the wind farm's wake effects and one without. Comparative analysis of the results demonstrates a measurable wind speed reduction at the mast location, confirming that large-scale wind farms can significantly influence wind resources tens of kilometers downstream. This work demonstrates the practical necessity of integrating wind farm-atmosphere interactions into mesoscale modeling for improved wind resource assessment and energy yield forecasting.
