Wind Flow Modeling
In the pre-construction phase of a wind farm, a considerable amount of time, effort, and money is often devoted to building a wind flow model to predict the spatial variability of the wind resource. Several different modeling approaches are used; however, arguably the more important and most difficult parameter to quantify is the model uncertainty. In this session, we will take a look at different methods used to assess the model uncertainty and we will explore how those techniques can lead to varying levels of uncertainty.
