Abstract |
High-resolution meso-scale meteorological model was used to simulate the detailed wind flow over the Noma Cape wind power plant in the Kagoshima prefecture, Japan. Four grids nesting method with a min...imum resolution of 50m was necessary to resolve the detailed topographical effect over the cape. Model results were statistically evaluated with the 1 minute averaged wind observation (March 1, 2003 to April 10, 2003) at the wind turbine sites. The simulated wind speed and wind direction are in a very good agreement with the observed records at wind power stations. The simulated mean wind speed agreed within the accuracy of 2% error, and simulation results for Grid 4 explained the spatial differences of wind speed within the cape. The wind acceleration effects by topography were also evaluated based on the model results during the steady wind direction period.show more
