| description | <p>The Mesoscale to Microscale Coupling team, part of the
U.S. Department of Energy Atmosphere to Electrons (A2e) initiative, has
studied various important challenges related to coupling mesoscale models to
microscale models for the use case of wind energy development and operation.
Several coupling methods and techniques for generating turbulence at the
microscale that is subgrid to the mesoscale have been evaluated for a
variety of cases. Case studies included flat-terrain, complex-terrain, and
offshore environments. Methods were developed to bridge the <i>terra incognita</i>, which scales from
about 100 m through the depth of the boundary layer. The team used
wind-relevant metrics and archived code, case information, and assessment
tools and is making those widely available. Lessons learned and discerned
best practices are described in the context of the cases studied for the
purpose of enabling further deployment of wind energy.</p> |
