Project overview:
Reducing LCoE from Offshore Wind by Multiscale Wake Modeling
Awardee:
Cornell University
Start Date:
Q2, 2020
Technical Challenge Area:
Wind Resource and Site Characterization
Completion Date:
Q3, 2022
Synopsis:
Cornell will be developing and applying multi-scale high-fidelity atmospheric and wake models to the US East Coast to improve accuracy of simulated high-resolution projected power output from wind farms, in an effort to optimize spacing of wind turbines within farms to maximize power production.
Target Outcomes:
1
Report on comparison tool detailing inputs, assumptions, and key conclusions including potential for capacity and LCoE improvement
