A study on wind speed correction method of lattice tower mast using CFD simulation

In case of analyzing the wind turbine design conditions and power productions accurately, the wind data at hub height is generally ideated for simulation. Recently, due to the increase in the size of the wind turbine, it is difficult to measure wind data of hub height by the cylindrical observation...

description In case of analyzing the wind turbine design conditions and power productions accurately, the wind data at hub height is generally ideated for simulation. Recently, due to the increase in the size of the wind turbine, it is difficult to measure wind data of hub height by the cylindrical observation tower. Therefore, lattice tower mast is adopted and there are cases where high altitude measurement is performed instead of cylindrical tower mast. However, even in case of measuring wind data using lattice tower mast, there are some uncertainty of flow distortions by tower shadowing. This paper shows a study on wind speed correction method of lattice tower mast using CFD simulations (Fluent). As a result of performing the wind speed correction using the inflow wind speed ratio by CFD calculation, the uncertainty of corrected wind speed fell by less than 1 % which is recommended by IEC 61400-12-1.
