WasP Engineering 2000
The purpose of the project is to verify, refine and develop micrometeorological tools for the estimation of load-critical wind conditions in landscapes in Denmark and Europe, where wind turbines (and other civil engineering structures) are likely to be situated.
These conditions include turbulence, both natural and turbine wake generated, shear and extreme winds. Four milestones of the project are: 1) Analysis and comparison of already existing data from a wind turbine park locations in very complex terrain. These data include vertical shear, directional shear, turbulence etc. The aim is to investigate how complex a terrain can be before the models in WasP Engineerings fails, and possibly also make improvements to these models. 2) Establishing connections between measured storms in Denmark and the global meteorological database from the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Project. If this is possible, it could lead to a methodology for an European extreme wind atlas. 3) Implementation of turbine wake models in the Windows program WasP Engineering. 4) Extend WasP Engineering with a module for the extreme value analysis of meteorological records
