ANIV-G Live Talk
Mesoscale simulations for wind energy applications
Posted on by Vincenzo Picozzi
Dear ANIV member,
we are pleased to invite you to the ANIV-G Live Talk titled “Mesoscale simulations for wind energy applications” organized by the ANIV group of young researchers.
The seminar will be held by Cristina Archer, Professor in the Department of Geography and Spatial Sciences and in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Center for Research in Wind (CReW) at the University of Delaware.
Wind turbines cause a reduction of wind speed and an increase of turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) in their wakes, thus they can alter the boundary layer wind and temperature distributions. As wind power expands worldwide, due to its environmental and economic benefits, concerns arise about the magnitude, spatial extent, and duration of such potential effects. Prof. Cristina Archer will review past and recent mesoscale modelling approaches and their applications to wind farms, from the global to the regional scales, including potential effects of wind farms on hurricanes and a new parameterization of added TKE by wind turbines developed by her research group.
Please find here a flyer describing the content of the Live Talk and the background of the speaker.
The Live Talk will take place on January 14, 16.00-17.30 CEST via Teams platform. You can join the seminar at the link.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you encounter any problem.
See you soon,
The ANIV-G Promoters
Lorenzo, Giulia, Federico
