CWEX: Overview of Results From Crop/Wind-Energy Experiments in Iowa Eugene S.

Outline CWEX overview Wakes Wind shear

CWEX Current Activities Began as a study of crop-turbine interactions – Impact of individual turbines and lines of turbines on surface conditions – Bull. Amer. Meteorol. Soc., 94, Current measurements and data analysis focus on properties of the turbine layer and its near environment – Aerodynamics of the lowest 300 m: above-rotor layer, rotor (wake) layer, and sub-rotor layer – Mesoscale impact of the windfarm

CWEX Instrument Deployment

Power produced from a line of turbines under wake conditions. East (90° ± 10°) and west (270° ± 10°) wind events. Turbine Wakes

Power produced from a line of turbines under wake conditions - day vs. night. Turbine Wakes

Power produced from a line of turbines under wake conditions. East (90° ± 10°) and west (270° ± 10°) wind events – day vs night. Turbine Wakes

Single Turbine Wakes July – Aug Assumed +/- 5 o wake expansion

Mean normalized power as a function of downwind distance. All wind speeds were > 3 m/s. 56% of wake power ratios > 1.0 were at night ( LST) Single Turbine Wakes P N >1.0

Mean normalized power as a function of downwind distance for turbine A5. 48% of events with P>1.0 occurred at night ( LST). Note: target turbine 7-10 m higher elevation than point of wake origin. Slope =10/1850= Multiple Turbine Wakes P N >1.0

Stable surface conditions Stronger wind speeds on the outside of the B1-B6 wake aggregate for SW winds Evidence of speed- up between/outside of turbine wakes (e.g. Hirsch and Schroeder 2013) Multiple Turbine Wakes

Large speed deficit at A3 for SSW wind Multiple Turbine Wakes Neutral surface conditions Weak overspeeding at most locations

High Wind Shear in Above-Rotor Layer

Summary The near turbine wake (<5 D) for this Iowa wind farm shows characteristics similar to those reported by Barthelmie et al. for European off-shore conditions Observations of the far turbine wake (>15 D) clearly show conditions where the turbine layer winds deeper in the wind farm are higher than at its upwind boundary High wind speeds associated with the nocturnal low-level jet create high wind speeds and strong vertical wind shear in the above-rotor layer There is some evidence that the wind shear created by the turbine wake may create sufficient turbulence to entrain high-speed wind from the above-turbine layer into the rotor layer We need to learn more about the dynamics of the above-rotor layer
