Impact of Ground Boundary on Production of Short Tower Turbines - A Conceptual Study

Energy V eq = X Energy ‘Tall’ Tower ‘Short/Stubby’ Tower Two turbines have same diameter, but different hub heights. Question: For a given input free stream energy (i.e. fixed V eq ), can two turbines with the same rotor diameter and power curve, but different hub heights be expected to product the same energy? Outline of Short Tower Issue It is conventional to ignore the interaction of the rotor stream tube and the ground boundary, but is this realistic?

V ext A s = Source Area A ext AwAw Freestream V Far Wake VwVw p0p0 p0p0 p+p+ p-p- Axial Flow Theory Ground Boundary At what hub height does the influence of the ground boundary being to influence the stream-tube? How might the ground boundary influence the production of: A single turbine? A wind farm?

HH / D = 1.11 CFD simulations of wind turbine rotor and ground boundary. Velocity tuned to keep free stream energy at rotor approximately constant. Downstream turbines see wake elongation (c.f. ground plane reflection wake model). Increased wake effects. Upstream turbine sees ground blockage effect i.e. reduced rotor speed gives reduced power. HH / D = 1.00 HH / D = 0.89 HH / D = 0.78 HH / D = 0.67 HH / D = 0.56 Draft/Provisional Results RES CFD Simulations 1 Turbine Fixed Diameter, Variable Hub Asymptotic behaviour does not make sense →more work needed. Simulated Power = Velocity at Rotor * Force

Draft/Provisional Results SSE CFD Simulations: 4*4 Array Fixed Diameter, Variable Hub T1 = Upstream Turbine (large dashed lines) T4 = Downstream Turbine (small dashed lines) Upstream of T1 (solid lines) Results indicate reduction in power at both upwind and downwind turbines.

Implications for Predicted Pattern of Performance? If the interaction between the turbine and the ground is significant for stumpy towers how might this influence the pattern on production onsite? Are the turbines at the hill top/bottom more/less effect than a turbine in flat terrain? Wind Farm Performance Verification – Part 2: RES, BWEA October 2009

‘Tall’ Tower ‘Short/Stumpy’ Tower Implications for Power Performance Testing? At a given distance upwind of a turbine, could the blockage effect upwind of a stumpy tower be larger than that of a tall tower? No Blockage Blockage? Could this be helping mask a performance loss due to stump towers?
