Wind farms interacting with the boundary layer

When: Friday, 2 June 2023, 11:15 - 12:45
Where: Auditorium Lumière

Session description

Capturing the interaction between wind farms with the atmospheric boundary layer is of utmost importance for accurate and reliable wind resource predictions. This session comprises presentations on the latest advances in numerically modelling these interactions, on large-scale model benchmarks as well as the possible role of AI.
