Improving the accuracy and interpretability of neural networks for wind power forecasting

Fernando Porté Agel, Jiannong Fang, Wenlong Liao

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are receiving increasing attention in wind power forecasting due to their ability to effectively capture complex patterns in wind data. However, their forecast errors are severely limited by the local optimal weight issue in opt ...

Hydrokinetic energy applications within hydropower tailrace channels: Implications, siting, and U.S. potential

Mirko Musa

Hydropower tailrace channels are unique and attractive locations for hydrokinetic energy harvesting due to fast currents, scheduled flow releases, proximity to existing structural and electrical infrastructures, and low risk of additional environmental imp ...

Wake meandering of wind turbines under dynamic yaw control and impacts on power and fatigue

Fernando Porté Agel, Mou Lin

The wind turbine array consists of eight NREL 5-MW reference turbines aligned with the inflow direction. The first turbine in the array is subjected to sinusoidal yaw control with a magnitude of 10∘ and different yaw frequencies. Based on spectral and dyna ...

Spatio-temporal estimation of wind speed and wind power using extreme learning machines: predictions, uncertainty and technical potential

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch, Federico Amato

With wind power providing an increasing amount of electricity worldwide, the quantification of its spatio-temporal variations and the related uncertainty is crucial for energy planners and policy-makers. Here, we propose a methodological framework which (1 ...

An evaluation of new particle formation events in Helsinki during a Baltic Sea cyanobacterial summer bloom

Lubna Dada

Several studies have investigated new particle formation (NPF) events from various sites ranging from pristine locations, including forest sites, to urban areas. However, there is still a dearth of studies investigating NPF processes and subsequent aerosol ...

Where does the river end? Drivers of spatiotemporal variability in CO2 concentration and flux in the inflow area of a large boreal lake

Natacha Pasche, Hannah Elisa Chmiel

River inflow affects the spatiotemporal variability of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the water column of lakes and may locally influence CO2 gas exchange with the atmosphere. However, spatiotemporal CO2 variability at river inflow sites is often unknown leaving ...

Mean kinetic energy distribution in finite-size wind farms: A function of turbines' arrangement

Varun Sharma, Marc Calaf Bracons, Roberto Torres Sánchez

In this work the redistribution and recovery of mean kinetic energy in a realistic, finite size wind farm is studied for neutral atmospheric boundary layer conditions. Five different wind farm configurations, with different wind turbine arrangements, are c ...

Linearity versus non-linearity in high frequency multilevel wind time series measured in urban areas

Dasaraden Mauree, Fabian Guignard

In this paper, high frequency wind time series measured at different heights from the ground (from 5.5 to 25.5 meters) in an urban area were investigated. The spectrum of each series is characterized by a power-law behaviour at low frequency range, with a ...

Transitions in the wintertime near-surface temperature inversion at Dome C, Antarctica

Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

In this work we study the dynamics of the surface-based temperature inversion over the Antarctic Plateau during the polar winter. Using 6 years of observations from the French-Italian Antarctic station Concordia at Dome C, we investigate sudden regime tran ...

Experimental investigation of vertical-axis wind-turbine wakes in boundary layer flow

Fernando Porté Agel, Vincent François-Charles Rolin

In this experiment, a small scale vertical-axis wind-turbine (VAWT) is immersed in a boundary-layer in a wind tunnel and stereo particle image velocimetry is employed to quantify the 3D characteristics of the wake. The measurements show that the wake is st ...

Using a Virtual Lidar Approach to Assess the Accuracy of the Volumetric Reconstruction of a Wind Turbine Wake

Fernando Porté Agel, Fernando Carbajo Fuertes

Scanning Doppler lidars are the best tools for acquiring 3D velocity fields of full scale wind turbine wakes, whether the objective is a better understanding of some features of the wake or the validation of wake models. Since these lidars are based on the ...

A model for the effect of pressure gradient on turbulent axisymmetric wakes

Fernando Porté Agel, Sina Shamsoddin

Turbulent axisymmetric wakes under pressure gradient have received little attention in the literature, in spite of their fundamental and practical importance, for example, in the case of wind turbine wakes over topography. In this paper, we develop an anal ...

Near-wake flow structure downwind of a wind turbine in a turbulent boundary layer

Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort

Wind turbines operate in the surface layer of the atmospheric boundary layer, where they are subjected to strong wind shear and relatively high turbulence levels. These incoming boundary layer flow characteristics are expected to affect the structure of wi ...

Using active learning for monitoring networks design: the example of wind power plants sites evaluation

Devis Tuia, Alexei Pozdnoukhov

Locating new wind farms is of crucial importance for energy policies of the next decade. To select the new location, an accurate picture of the wind fields is necessary. However, characterizing wind fields is a difficult task, since the phenomenon is highl ...
