A013 – Observational and Modeling Studies for Improved Wind Energy Characterization & Forecasting

 

Abstract: Installations of offshore and land-based wind farms are projected to increase in the coming years as the economy transitions towards renewable energy. Accurately forecasting rotor-region winds is crucial for this transition. Despite significant progress, models struggle to accurately simulate rotor-region winds due to various reasons. These factors include surface characterization (including wind-wave-ocean coupling or soil moisture), atmospheric boundary-layer turbulence, changing stability conditions, clouds, precipitation, extreme weather, and wind turbine wake effects. This session will focus on characterizing and reducing uncertainties in rotor-region wind forecasts through observations, model simulations and AI-based techniques. We especially welcome observational studies stemming from targeted large field campaigns (e.g. WFIP3, AWAKEN, X-WAKES, WIPAFF etc.) or smaller experiments. Modeling studies focused on improving the understanding of processes modulating rotor-region winds, or improving wind farm parameterizations for weather models are also welcome.
