摘要
摘要由于全球海上风能装机容量的快速增长,单个风电场的规模正在增加。这对预测能源生产的模型提出了挑战。例如,当前一代的尾流模型大多是在现有规模小得多的风电场上进行校准的。这项工作通过大气大涡模拟分析了未来数十亿瓦风电场的年发电量和尾流损失。为此,我们模拟了一组假设的4年实际天气 GW海上风电场场景。应用的涡轮机类型、装机容量密度和布局不同。结果表明,在保持总装机容量不变的情况下,当单个涡轮机的额定功率较大时,产量显著增加。即使对于额定功率相似但功率曲线略有不同的涡轮机类型,也发现产量存在显著差异。尽管风速被确定为决定空气动力学损失的最主要因素,但已经确定了大气稳定性和边界层高度的明显影响。通过分析第一排涡轮机的损失,估计年平均全球阻塞效应在2到3之间 %, 但它可以达到10以上的水平 % 对于稳定的分层条件和大约8的风速 m s−1。利用高保真建模技术,本工作深入了解了未来数十亿瓦风电场在全年真实天气条件下的性能。
Investigating energy production and wake losses of multi-gigawatt offshore wind farms with atmospheric large-eddy simulation
Abstract. As a consequence of the rapid growth of the globally installed offshore wind energy capacity, the size of individual wind farms is increasing. This poses a challenge to models that predict energy production. For instance, the current generation of wake models has mostly been calibrated on existing wind farms of much smaller size. This work analyzes annual energy production and wake losses for future, multi-gigawatt wind farms with atmospheric large-eddy simulation. To that end, 1 year of actual weather has been simulated for a suite of hypothetical 4 GW offshore wind farm scenarios. The scenarios differ in terms of applied turbine type, installed capacity density, and layout. The results suggest that production numbers increase significantly when the rated power of the individual turbines is larger while keeping the total installed capacity the same. Even for turbine types with similar rated power but slightly different power curves, significant differences in production were found. Although wind speed was identified as the most dominant factor determining the aerodynamic losses, a clear impact of atmospheric stability and boundary layer height has been identified. By analyzing losses of the first-row turbines, the yearly average global-blockage effect is estimated to between 2 and 3 %, but it can reach levels over 10 % for stably stratified conditions and wind speeds around 8 m s−1. Using a high-fidelity modeling technique, the present work provides insights into the performance of future, multi-gigawatt wind farms for a full year of realistic weather conditions.
