3 OffWind project main goal: This is a project proposal aiming at the development of computational tools for the prediction of the location and energy yield of offshore wind farms depending on the weather situation (condition of the ocean and atmosphere) and the presence of other wind farms (design and operation).

9 The Atmospheric Boundary Layer The mechanisms for the generation of ABL turbulence. Convective boundary layers : turbulence is generated by buoyancy. Stable boundary layers: turbulence is suppressed by buoyancy. Neutral boundary layer: turbulence is generated by wind shear. θ z < 0 θ z > 0 θ z = 0 Initial pertubation stable unstable neutral Lund University / Fluid Mechanics/ Ali Al Sam 8

10 The Atmospheric Boundary Layer Ex. The power output data from the Horns Rev offshore Wind Farm (given by Jensen 2007) Stable ABL the farm s efficiency is 61% unstable ABL the farm s efficiency is 74% Lund University / Fluid Mechanics/ Ali Al Sam 9

11 The Wind-Wave Interactions The wind generates tiny wavelets which have 2D spectral structure. The spectral components develop with time and through the space by absorbing the energy transfer from the wind. Nonlinear energy transfer among spectral components is also important in the development of spectrum. The high frequency components then gradually saturate, losing the absorbed energy as the wave break, while the low frequency are still growing. Lund University / Fluid Mechanics/ Ali Al Sam 10

12 The Wind-Wave Interactions The ABL Wind velocity and turbulence. The wave field is generated by wind stress. Depend on roughness of the ocean surface. Swell Roughness length is determined by the sea state Lund University / Fluid Mechanics/ Ali Al Sam 11

20 The Wind-Wave Interactions Swell effects When winds and waves reach equilibrium C p u a ~30, C p U a ~1.2 Growing sea (absorbing momentum from the wind) C p u a < 30, C p U a < 1.2 Old sea (giving momentum to the wind) C p u a > 30, C p U a > 1.2 Swell can induce significant misalignment between surface winds and turbulent stress and generally invalidates the use of Monin-Obukhov similarity theory that assumes winds-stress alignment. Lund University / Fluid Mechanics/ Ali Al Sam 19

21 Wind-Wave Interactions Swell effects pure wind wave mixed with swell Effect of swell in marine atmospheric boundary layer. Lian Shen/ John Hokins University Lund University / Fluid Mechanics/ Ali Al Sam 20

22 The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of nonlocal waves (swell) on wind energy by studying the effect of the effect of misalignment between surface wind and turbulent stress on the turbine hub height velocity and the possible effect of these waves on wind turbine wake distribution.
