Wind turbines operate in the atmospheric boundary layer, where they are exposed to turbulent atmospheric flows. As the response time of wind turbines is typically in the range of seconds, they are affected by the small-scale intermittent properties of turbulent wind. Consequently, basic features that are known for small-scale homogeneous isotropic turbulence, in particular the well-known intermittency problem, have an important impact on the wind energy conversion process. We report on basic research results concerning the small-scale intermittent properties of atmospheric flows and their impact on the wind energy conversion process. The analysis of wind data shows strong intermittent statistics of wind fluctuations. To achieve numerical modeling, a data-driven superposition model is proposed. For the experimental reproduction and adjustment of intermittent flows, the so-called active grid setup is presented. Its ability to generate reproducible properties of atmospheric flows on the smaller scales of lab...
