Problems solved by technology

Since the inflow boundary condition is a theoretical wind profile, the altitude is not considered
Therefore, different calculation area selections will directly lead to different altitudes of the inflow wind profile
[0004] In short, the existing methods for determining the wind resource calculation area can only be calculated by setting a single default distance, resulting in different inflow boundary conditions, resulting in inaccurate calculations and large error in the results

Abstract

The invention provides a wind resource calculation area optimization method based on OpenFOAM, and the method comprises the steps: determining the main wind direction of a target area range in the target area range according to the actual measurement data of a anemometer tower, and determining the boundary condition and an initial value of an OpenFOAM model; Determining the minimum radius of the minimum calculation area range according to the position of the anemometer tower in the target area range; According to different to-be-analyzed distances corresponding to the minimum radius, performing iterative computation through an OpenFOAM model to obtain an iterative computation range corresponding to each to-be-analyzed distance; Verifying the actual measurement data of each anemometer tower, and determining an optimal wind resource calculation area. According to the method, iterative computation of the main wind direction sector and different topographic map sizes is realized, a multi-anemometer tower is used for verifying and computing a mutual inference error, the optimal computation area size is searched, and CFD computation uncertainty caused by inflow boundary conditions of a complex terrain can be remarkably reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind resource assessment, and more specifically, relates to an OpenFOAM-based wind resource calculation area optimization method. Background technique [0002] In the wind resource assessment work, the site topographic map is an important input file, which will have a significant impact on the accuracy of wind resource calculation. This effect is particularly noticeable in projects with complex terrain. Because different calculation ranges are selected, the terrain at the entrance of the calculation area changes accordingly, that is, the inflow boundary conditions change. [0003] At present, commonly used wind resource assessment software includes: WAsP, WindFarmer, WindSim, WT and WindPRO, etc. The method for calculating area selection in wind resource assessment is to extrapolate a default distance in the area of ​​interest (selected by yourself), and the commonly used one is five kilometers....
