Validation<\/p><p>The actuator disc as well as the influence of the blockage effect have been tested for a lot of demo cases in order to connect the underlying technique with the variety of models and application possibilities provided by WindSim. The implemented windfarm blocking was not only tested systematically against these test cases but also against real wind farm data. Here it turned out that the implemented procedure is even suitable to reproduce rather small effects.<\/p><p class=\"lightblue\">b. All Directions Enabled<\/p><p>Since the Actuator Disc is represented as a staircase in the orthogonal grid for non-orthogonal wind directions the numerical conditions for different wind directions are not precisely the same. In the actuator disc implementation of WindSim 11 the applied thrust forces, therefore, follow a new weighting scheme in order to improve directional independence.<\/p><p class=\"lightblue\">c. Blockage Effect Model<\/p><p>Apart from the wake losses and the intrinsically included wake interactions, with the AD model, it is also possible to reproduce wind speed losses in front of the turbine. This is especially important when the speed losses in front of the turbines collectively form an area with reduced wind speed. This area is therefore blocked by the existence of the turbines and generally less wind speed is available.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-920d8e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"920d8e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Blockage Effect<\/strong><\/p><p>CFD calculations clearly show the impact of the presence of a turbine in the wind field. This impact can not only be detected downstream but also upstream where a reduction of the wind speed in front of the turbine is the resulting effect. For more than one turbine this effect can become collective and appear as blocking of the whole windfarm area. This loss of wind speed is not available for energy production and consequently leads to the same rate of loss in annual energy production (AEP) that can typically range between 0% and 5%. To avoid a systematic overprediction of the AEP the consideration of the blockage effect is required.<\/p><p>In contrast, a speed-up region lateral to the turbine position and especially in between turbines can lead to an increase in wind speeds. This effect is naturally contained in the AD model as well and can even be included in the blockage effect calculation of WindSim (see the manual for more information). To include this effect into the wind resource assessment, WindSim provides a Blockage Model which is based on the described AD implementation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f884f38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f884f38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"323\" src=\"https:\/\/windsim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/actuator_disk_03.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2855\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/windsim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/actuator_disk_03.png 975w, https:\/\/windsim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/actuator_disk_03-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/windsim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/actuator_disk_03-768x310.png 768w, https:\/\/windsim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/actuator_disk_03-16x6.png 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-074191b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"074191b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>The figure shows the absolute value of the two dimensional wind speed at hub height for a CFD calculation on flat Terrain.
