Objectives
The objective of this project is to cost effectively reduce the amount of reserve required to cover wind forecast error.
Expected Benefits:
- A final report describing prediction methodology and level of accuracy improvement achieved
- Costs benefits evaluation of different degrees of modelling detail and associated reduction in forecast error.
- Modelling source code
Abstract
The project will investigate the modelling of atmospheric behaviour and interaction between wind and turbine at the level of an individual turbine.
