Net AEP maps for windfarm optimization Morten Nielsen Vindkraftnet meeting November 13, 2018 at DTU Lyngby Campus
Outline • What is a Net AEP map • Greedy ‘optimization’ algorithms • Example 1 - Gwynt y Môr offshore wind farm • Example 2 – Jing Bian complex terrain wind farm
WAsP resource grids
Combined wake map by FFT calculus Calculation of depleted wind resource maps
• Find production for all wind speeds, wind
directions and turbine types • Make probability-weighted integral over all
wind conditions • Find power density or AEP or reference
turbine at grid nodes
Apply speedup-factors for complex terrain (but no directional deflection) Poster and paper from EWEA 2015 conference
Depleted wind resource maps
Gross AEP Net AEP
Greedy ‘optimization’ algorithms • Greedy v1
Recalculate the Net AEP map for each iteration and place the turbine at the positions with the highest net wind resource
• Greedy v2 As version I, but using a Net AEP map corrected for losses at existing turbines due to the added turbine
Geometric constraints • Grid mask (coarse) • Shapes (better accuracy)
– WF boundary (polygons) – Turbine distances (circles)

Conclusions • Efficient method for adding wake effects to wind resource maps
– Works for linear wake models like Jensen and Fuga – Speed depends on grid domain size, no. of turbine types and total no. of turbines
• Greedy layout algorithm for offshore site – Tends to place turbines at wind farm boundary, particularly at the windward side – Better results with version 2 including losses for already positioned turbines – Modest gain in AEP and turbine separations unacceptable – Need constraints on turbine separation – Optimized layout may have shorter cable distances
• Greedy layout algorithm for complex terrain site – This problem is not just about wake losses but also about differences in wind resource – Shows some shortcomings of the greedy ‘optimization’ approach – Need to consider wind conditions in the IEC standard – Shear and flow inclination criteria seems to be relaxed in Ed. 4 of IEC standard
