2 GABLS 3: Boundary-layer characteristics (Bosveld et al., 2014) Cabauw (Netherlands) 30 km Stationary synoptic Clear skies No fog Substantial LLJ 6 years 9 days night of 1 2 July 2006 Bosveld et al. (2014) The third GABLS Intercomparison case for evaluation studies of Boundary-Layer Models Part A: Case Selection and Set-Up. Boundary Layer Meteorol 152:
3 GABLS3 revisited for Wind Energy ABL models New European Wind Atlas (NEWA) context Add 1 st -order physics to the flow model Include thermal stratification vs neutral Transient model vs steady-steate Include large-scale tendencies vs idealized forcing Avoid adding physical complexity if this is not justified by meaningful improved performance No humidity equation just momentum and energy No heat transfer by radiation or phase changes just diffusion and advection No land-surface modeling just MOST Focus on wind energy quantities of interest (QoIs) Rotor heights ( m): S hub, WD hub, REWS, etc Metrics Cycle-integrated errors, relevant for intended use (AEP) Quantify performance vs observations and vs reference model

6 WRF Sensitivity Analysis: Horizontal wind fields at 80 m z = 80 m

14 Vertical Profiles at Midnight (LLJ)
15 Time-Height Fields Good consistency among all the models at capturing mesoscale forcing Best results on mean wind speed obtained from WRF ensemble Spread of microscale models of about the same size as that observed in the WRF ensemble Differences in TKE fields
16 Wind Energy Quantities of Interest Hub-height wind speed and direction S hub, WD hub Rotor Equivalent Wind Speed REWS z D = 160 m i+1 REWS A S cos A i z i z obs = [40, 80, 140, 200] z hub = 120 m A i i i i β i : veer angle with respect to hubheight wind direction Wind speed shear, α, and direction veer ψ S i z Shub zhub

18 Cycle-Aggregrated Metrics 1 N pred obs i 1 MAE N
19 Conclusions Consistent flow fields of microscale models (RANS and LES) using tendencies from mesoscale Spread is significant, of similar magnitude in microscale models (using the same input) than that observed in the WRF sensitivity analysis Ensemble approach leads to the best predictions of mean wind speed fields Assessment is limited to the particular conditions of the diurnal cycle What shall be the impact of meso-micro in wind resource assessment applications?
