Investigation into flow over complex topography and escarpments for wind turbine siting using experimental and computational methods

该项目将通过改善对流动状况的了解，提高国家在复杂地形下优化风力涡轮机发电场发电的能力。通过更好地了解分离的区域和这些区域内的湍流结构，可以优化电力生产，并降低与复杂地点中涡轮机定位相关的疲劳风险。这将提高人们对风力发电场场地评估技术的信心，从而降低与当前风力发电场可行性评估相关的经济风险。通过提高国家生产清洁能源的能力，可以减少固定能源的排放。该项目还将培养出高素质的毕业生，他们将成为未来行业的领导者。

This project will improve national capability to optimise power production from wind turbine farms in complex terrain by improving the understanding of the flow regime. By better understanding separated regions and the turbulent structures within these regions power production can be optimised and fatigue risks associated with turbine positioning in complex sites can be reduced. This will improve confidence in wind farm site assessment techniques and consequently reduce economic risks associated with current wind farm viability assessments. By increasing national capacity to generate clean energy stationary energy emissions can be reduced. This project will also deliver high calibre graduates that will be potential future industry leaders.
