Turbulence Intensity Module

The Turbulence Intensity Module provides the sophisticated user with an advanced level of modelling of the wind flow, turbine performance and turbine loading within a wind farm.

The ambient turbulence can be modelled as a function of wind speed, wind direction or both wind speed and direction (see also MCP+ Module in this regard).

Below are some of the channels that can be output in the Turbulence Intensity Module for each turbine for every wind speed and direction:

Wind turbine power
Incident wind speed relative to measured wind speed
Ambient wind speed and turbulence
Estimate of load equivalent design turbulence levels
Wake affected wind speed and turbulence

The detailed data from this module enables the user to compare the expected wind farm output for each wind speed and direction with the prediction, such as for a wind farm performance warranty. Also provided is a direct link to load calculations with our GH Bladed software.
