Working
on
timeseries
Working on timeseries
Alternative 1: Run a case for each observation
+
-
Exact behaviour for all cases
MUCH too demanding
Alternative 2: Run typical cases
2a: Standard cases
+
-
Easy, not demanding
Maybe decisive
situations not taken
into account
2c: Cluster timeseries
+
-
Simulates cases of
interest
More demanding,
often more cases to
run, clustering needed
2b: Standard cases,
2 windspeeds
+
-
Easy
More demanding, still
decisive situations
might not be taken
into account

Brief summary:

Transfer timeseries directly

Use of n-dimensional transfer matrix

More than one windspeed used

Clustering of timeseries possible
Advantages

Not dependend on # of cases

Significant cases can be simulated

Easy to extend if more information is available (e.g. stability)

Also available for transfer of standard deviation (Turbulence)

project
The EuRA project
The project:

Europe-wide 9 km grid re-analysis

European wind database for over 106.000 grid points in Europe

High resolution 10-minute average time series

Wind data in 10, 60, 120 and 2.000 m a.g.l

Temperature and temperature gradient

More than 200 maps with met data

Sophisticated combination of the
advantages of the two systems
Deep knowledge and access to both
systems necessary
Both systems must run at the same
time (depending on type)
2. Scale against meso scale model

-
No direct access to each model
needed
No need to run models simutaneously
Simplified approach

Features and charactersitics of EWS

Can be run with any meso-scale timeseries (even NCAR/NCEP
directly)

No model coupling needed

Additional Wind Data can be included to improve result quality

Advanced weighting system to include local measurements

Quick (~4 weeks for one map)

Improved methods of windfield
evaluation have been developed
Shifting timeseries
Clustering
Turbulence shift
Improved weighting of several masts
(distance, height a.g.l., height a.s.l.,
user customized)
New .wrg and .rsf export.
Windmapping based on several masts
Load study (inflow, turbulence, profiles
…)

Adaption of turbulence model due to
atmospheric conditions
Including temperature/stability
Including coriolis force
More stability of the solver – convergence!
Fixing bug in large forest simulation
