Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of digital processing, in particular to a wind farm wind measurement tower site selection method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The development and operation of a wind farm highly depend on accurate wind resource assessment, and a wind measurement tower is a core device for obtaining key meteorological parameters such as wind speed and wind direction at a near-ground height layer (usually 10m-100m height layer). The rationality of the wind measurement tower site selection directly affects the representativeness and reliability of the wind resource data - if the site selection location fails to fully reflect the dominant wind field pattern (such as stable wind direction, uniform wind speed distribution) of the wind farm region, it may lead to wind resource assessment deviation, thereby affecting the accuracy of wind farm layout design, unit selection and power generation prediction, and ultimately increasing the development risk and cost.

[0003] The existing wind measurement tower site selection method combines the slope data of a digital elevation model (DEM) and the wind field data predicted by a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model to determine the wind measurement tower site selection according to the wind field prediction data analysis. This method ignores the influence of terrain disturbance on wind direction and wind speed: terrain can affect airflow movement, for example, in complex terrain such as mountains and valleys, airflow can accelerate, flow around, and vortex, etc. The wind speed observed by a ground meteorological station may have a large deviation from the actual wind speed of the large-scale wind field due to local terrain shielding or acceleration effect. Complex terrain can make the wind direction unstable, resulting in local changes in wind direction. For example, the orientation of ridges and valleys can affect airflow direction, leading to large differences in wind direction at different locations and different times. Since the terrain disturbance is not fully considered, the obtained wind direction data cannot represent the true dominant wind direction of the region, thereby affecting the judgment of the wind field pattern; the obtained wind speed data cannot truly reflect the actual wind resource situation of the region, so that the wind direction and wind speed data for site selection do not match the actual development height layer.

[0041] The application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the application and implement it, but the embodiments are not as a limitation on the application.

[0042] Terrain is one of the core factors affecting the distribution of near-surface wind field - complex terrain such as mountains, hills and valleys will significantly affect the wind speed, wind direction stability and spatial distribution characteristics by changing the airflow movement path (such as acceleration effect, flow around, vortex generation), inducing wind speed vertical shear and airflow irregularity. Specifically, (1) velocity shear effect: when the airflow passes through the terrain with slope change (such as the acceleration of the windward slope of the mountain and the deceleration of the leeward slope), the wind speed difference of different height layers (i.e. velocity shear index, reflecting the rate of change of wind speed with height) significantly increases, and the near-surface layer (such as 10m-30m height) wind speed may be significantly weakened due to friction, while the high altitude wind speed is relatively stable. (2) Turbulence effect: complex terrain (such as broken ridges and canyon exits) will cause airflow separation, vortex shedding and other phenomena, which will significantly increase the fluctuation amplitude of wind speed (i.e. turbulence intensity), affecting the stable operation of wind turbine generators.

[0043] The purpose of the embodiment of the present application is to solve the problem that the mechanical disturbance (i.e. velocity shear effect) and turbulence effect of terrain on wind field are not fully considered, resulting in inaccurate wind tower site selection.

[0044] Embodiment one: refer to Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application discloses a wind farm wind tower site selection method, comprising:

[0045] S100, divide the candidate area into a plurality of spatial grid points, obtain the meteorological real-time data, grid forecast data and occultation observation data of the plurality of spatial grid points, and construct a multi-source meteorological data set;

[0046] S200, obtain the terrain data of each spatial grid point, and calculate the terrain disturbance factor of the spatial grid point according to the terrain data; wherein the terrain disturbance factor includes the velocity shear index and the turbulence intensity;

[0047] S300, assign a weight based on the terrain disturbance factor, and perform weighted fusion on the multi-source meteorological data according to the weight to obtain a comprehensive wind field data set;

[0048] S400, input the comprehensive wind field data set into a numerical weather prediction model, and perform wind field iterative optimization with the velocity shear index and the turbulence intensity as physical constraints to obtain wind field prediction data with spatial and temporal distribution;

[0049] S500, according to the wind field prediction data, screen the spatial grid points meeting the preset condition as wind tower candidate positions.

[0050] In specific application scenarios, based on a geographic information system (GIS) tool, using digital elevation model (DEM) data or vector boundary files, the candidate area is discretized into a plurality of uniformly distributed spatial grid points through a grid algorithm (such as regular rectangular grid division), and each spatial grid point has a clear latitude and longitude coordinate and a spatial range. For each spatial grid point, collect the actual observed meteorological live data, the model predicted grid forecast data, and the satellite inversion occultation observation data. The three types of data, meteorological live data, grid forecast data, and occultation observation data, together constitute a multi-source meteorological data set describing the wind field characteristics of the area.

[0051] The meteorological live data includes the historical or real-time observation data obtained from the ground meteorological stations (such as national meteorological stations and wind measurement stations around wind farms), including wind speed (at different height layers, such as 10m, 30m, and 50m), wind direction, air temperature, air pressure, and other parameters. The gridded forecast data for a future period (such as 7 days or 1 month) is obtained from numerical weather prediction models (such as ECMWF, GFS, WRF, etc.), with a resolution of 1km-10km, directly including wind speed, wind direction, and other parameters for each grid point. The atmospheric wind field data inverted using global navigation satellite system occultation technology (such as GPS / MET, COSMIC) extracts the wind speed and wind direction parameters at the corresponding height layer (such as 50m-200m) for each spatial grid point through satellite orbit coverage information, supplementing the high-altitude wind field information. Align the three types of data according to the grid point coordinates to form a three-dimensional data structure of "grid point- meteorological parameter-time".

[0052] Extract the terrain parameters of each spatial grid point through high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM), such as ASTER GDEM and SRTM 30m / 90m data, including elevation, slope angle, and slope direction angle. The elevation is the absolute altitude of the grid point. The slope angle is the surface inclination angle calculated based on the elevation difference of adjacent grid points. The slope direction angle is the angle between the slope direction and the dominant wind direction. Calculate the velocity shear index and turbulence intensity based on the elevation, slope angle, and slope direction angle of each spatial grid point. The velocity shear index represents the vertical wind speed profile gradient, i.e., the nonlinear change rate of wind speed with height, reflecting the acceleration / deceleration characteristics of near-surface layer wind speed. The turbulence intensity represents the irregular pulsation degree of airflow, reflecting the stability of the wind field. Quantify the influence of terrain on wind speed vertical shear and airflow irregularity through velocity shear index and turbulence intensity, so that the comprehensive wind field data set can more realistically reflect the actual wind conditions of the candidate area, solving the problems of near-surface wind speed measurement bias and wind direction stability misjudgment caused by ignoring terrain disturbance.

[0053] Different meteorological data sources have different response capabilities to terrain disturbance (such as occultation data being less affected by terrain obstruction and being more reliable, and ground data being easily affected by local interference and being less reliable), and the weights are dynamically assigned according to the differences in response capabilities to terrain disturbance, the influence of terrain disturbance intensity on data reliability is reflected, and more accurate and reliable comprehensive wind field data set is obtained by weighting and fusing three types of meteorological data according to the weights, so that the adaptability of multi-source meteorological data under different terrain conditions and the accuracy of fusion results are significantly improved.

[0054] The comprehensive wind field data set is used as the initial wind speed / direction of the numerical weather prediction model, and the terrain data, land use data, ground roughness and other basic geographic information are input at the same time, in the model calculation process, the target function is constructed to quantify the deviation of the predicted wind field and the terrain disturbance factor, the key parameters (such as the friction coefficient of the near-surface layer and the turbulent kinetic energy parameter) of the model or the initial wind field distribution are adjusted through gradient descent method or genetic algorithm, the target function value is minimized, the model runs multiple iterations, after each round of wind field prediction result is output, the wind speed shear index and the turbulent intensity of the current prediction are recalculated, compared with the actual terrain disturbance factor and the weight is updated, until the deviation between the prediction result and the constraint condition is less than the set threshold, and finally the optimized spatiotemporal distribution wind field prediction data is obtained, including the wind speed and direction of each spatial grid point at different height layers / time points. By introducing the velocity shear index and the turbulent intensity as physical constraint conditions in the model calculation process, the initial field, boundary conditions or parameterization scheme of the model are adjusted through iterative optimization, so that the spatiotemporal distribution wind field data output by the model is more consistent with the characteristics of the real wind field under the influence of the actual terrain.

[0055] Based on the optimized wind field prediction data, the grid points with rich wind resources, stable wind conditions and regional representativeness are selected as the candidate positions of the wind tower through the preset wind resource evaluation index (such as average wind speed threshold and wind direction stability requirement).

[0056] The wind farm wind tower site selection method of the application significantly improves the accuracy of wind field data, the reliability of multi-source data fusion and the accuracy of wind field prediction by quantifying the terrain disturbance factor and integrating multi-source data fusion and model optimization, accurately selects the wind tower position with rich wind resources, stable wind field mode and strong data representativeness, effectively solves the data deviation and site selection deviation problem of traditional site selection method under complex terrain, simultaneously improves the meteorological accuracy and reliability of wind tower site selection, and is especially suitable for complex terrain areas such as mountains and coastal belts, providing reliable data support for wind power project approval and power grid scheduling.

[0057] On the basis of the above embodiment, the terrain data includes altitude, slope angle and slope direction angle; refer to Figure 2As shown, the speed shear index is calculated according to the terrain data, including: constructing a logarithmic law model; the logarithmic law model represents the logarithmic change relationship between the wind speed and the distance from the ground height in the near-surface boundary layer; determining a terrain modulation factor based on the slope angle and the aspect angle; correcting the logarithmic law model based on the terrain modulation factor to obtain a wind speed profile model; inputting the altitude into the wind speed profile model to obtain the wind speed at the current altitude; and calculating the speed shear index according to the wind speed at the current altitude and the altitude.

[0058] In a specific application scenario, in the near-surface boundary layer, when the atmosphere is in a neutral stable state, the wind speed changes with the height in accordance with the logarithmic law, the core assumption of which is that the airflow forms a turbulent boundary layer under the action of surface friction, and the vertical distribution of the wind speed satisfies the logarithmic relationship, and the logarithmic law model is:

[0059]

[0060] wherein u(z) represents the wind speed at the height z; and z represents the altitude; wherein u(z0) represents the von Karman constant, and the value is 0.4; z0 represents the virtual plane height at which the wind speed is zero, and is related to the type of the ground surface, and the value of the smooth water surface is 0.0001-0.001 m; the value of the flat grassland is 0.01-0.05 m; the value of the shrub / crop is 0.1-0.3 m; and the value of the forest / city is 0.5-2.0 m.

[0061] wherein u(z) represents the friction velocity, representing the surface friction strength; and the friction velocity is calculated and determined in the following manner: wherein τ(z) represents the surface shear stress; wherein ρ represents the air density.

[0062] The terrain modulation factor is determined based on the slope angle and the aspect angle, including:

[0063]

[0064] wherein f represents the terrain modulation factor; and k represents an empirical coefficient, and the value is 0.15-0.25; wherein θ represents the slope angle; wherein φ represents the aspect angle; wherein θ0 represents the dominant wind direction angle of the candidate area, and is determined by a historical wind rose diagram, for example, the wind direction frequency distribution of the candidate area is counted for many years, and the wind direction with the highest frequency is selected as the dominant wind direction angle.

[0065] The slope angle wherein θ represents the inclination angle of a point, quantifies the inclination degree of the slope surface--the steeper the slope, ​​​The larger the height, the stronger the vertical movement component of the airflow forced by the terrain, and the more significant the disturbance to the vertical distribution of wind speed. For example, at steep ridges The larger the height, the more obvious the airflow acceleration effect, resulting in an increase in the near-surface wind speed gradient (speed shear index).

[0066] slope aspect represents the actual orientation of the terrain slope, and determines the spatial relationship between the slope and the airflow direction; dominant wind direction represents the direction of the prevailing wind in the area, and is the basis for evaluating the consistency of the airflow and terrain interaction direction; is the cosine similarity measure of the slope aspect and the dominant wind direction angle The smaller the angle difference between the two, the closer to 1, the stronger the synergy between the airflow and the slope, and the more significant the terrain enhancement effect on wind speed; the larger the angle difference, tends to 0 or negative, the stronger the airflow disturbance by the terrain, which may inhibit wind speed growth or even cause local low-speed areas.

[0067] Based on the terrain modulation factor correction logarithmic law model, a wind speed profile model is obtained:

[0068] ;

[0069] represents the wind speed at height z after being modulated by the terrain modulation factor; f represents the terrain modulation factor;

[0070] Input the altitude into the wind speed profile model to obtain the wind speed at the current altitude.

[0071] Calculate the speed shear index WSE according to the wind speed at the current altitude and the altitude:

[0072] .

[0073] The wind speed profile model obtained by the above-mentioned terrain modulation factor correction logarithmic law model can significantly improve the accuracy of wind speed prediction in complex terrain areas and improve the physical consistency of wind speed prediction. The calculated speed shear index is one of the core indicators for quantifying terrain disturbance intensity, and is directly used for multi-source meteorological data fusion weight distribution. In areas with strong terrain disturbance, the weight of occultation observation data is increased. As a physical constraint condition, the simulation accuracy of the model for the near-surface wind speed cutting edge is adjusted, solving the problem of low wind speed prediction accuracy in non-flat areas in traditional methods.

[0074] On the basis of the above embodiments, the turbulence intensity is calculated according to the terrain data, including: obtaining the wind speed in a set time window according to the wind speed profile model to generate a time series wind speed; calculating the wind speed standard deviation and the average wind speed according to the time series wind speed; calculating the ratio of the wind speed standard deviation to the average wind speed to obtain the turbulence intensity. In the embodiment of the application, the time series wind speed containing the influence of terrain disturbance is obtained through the wind speed profile model, and then the turbulence intensity is calculated, which can more truly reflect the irregularity of airflow in a complex terrain area (such as a mountainous area or a canyon).

[0075] On the basis of the above embodiments, the weight is assigned based on the terrain disturbance factor, including: if the velocity shear index is greater than 0.3, the weight of the meteorological live data is increased; if the velocity shear index is less than or equal to 0.3, the weight of the grid forecast data is increased; if the turbulence intensity is greater than 15%, the weight of the occultation observation data is reduced; and if the turbulence intensity is less than or equal to 15%, the weight of the occultation observation data is increased.

[0076] In a specific application scenario, the adjustment logic of the velocity shear index is as follows:

[0077] The velocity shear index quantifies the nonlinear change rate of wind speed with height, and the greater the velocity shear index, the more significant the influence of terrain friction, slope and other factors on the near-surface wind speed, and the more intense the vertical shear. The meteorological live data directly measures the near-surface wind speed, but is easily disturbed by local obstacles (such as mountains and forests) in complex terrain, especially when the velocity shear index is large, the measured value is increased in error due to "near-surface turbulence mixing" or "terrain shielding". However, the meteorological live data can still reflect the "instantaneous fluctuations" of the local real wind speed in the extreme shear area (WSE>0.3), and has irreplaceability in capturing strong shear characteristics, so the weight of the meteorological live data is increased.

[0078] The grid forecast data is obtained based on a large-scale physical model, and has certain modeling capability for the vertical distribution of wind speed in flat or moderately complex terrain, but in the strong shear area of WSE>0.3, the model underestimates the shear intensity due to insufficient resolution or simplification of the parameterization scheme (such as not finely describing the terrain friction), resulting in prediction bias. In the weak shear area of WSE≤0.3, the grid forecast data is more reliable than the discrete live data due to its wide coverage and high calculation consistency, so the weight of the grid forecast data is increased.

[0079] Therefore, when WSE>0.3, the weight of the live data is increased to correct the underestimation of the model for extreme shear; and when WSE≤0.3, the weight of the grid forecast data is increased, at this time the modeling capability of the model for weak shear wind field is more stable, and the model has a wide coverage and can provide more continuous and consistent wind speed prediction results.

[0080] The adjustment logic of the turbulence intensity is as follows:

[0081] The turbulence intensity represents the ratio of the fluctuation amplitude of the wind speed to the average wind speed, and a turbulence intensity greater than 15% indicates that the airflow irregularity is significant; a turbulence intensity less than or equal to 15% indicates that the wind field is relatively stable.

[0082] The occultation observation data is atmospheric wind field information retrieved by satellite remote sensing, has the advantages of global coverage and being not affected by terrain obstruction, and can reflect the average characteristics of large-scale wind field, but in the high turbulence area where the turbulence intensity is greater than 15%, the retrieval result deviates greatly from the actual wind speed fluctuation because the local small-scale vortex cannot be resolved; in the stable area where the turbulence intensity is less than or equal to 15%, the occultation data can more accurately capture the characteristics of the large-scale stable wind field because it avoids the interference of ground obstacles, and its reliability is higher than that of the near-surface observation affected by local turbulence.

[0083] Therefore, when the turbulence intensity is greater than 15%, the local fluctuation in the high turbulence area will interfere with the retrieval accuracy of the occultation data, reduce the weight of the occultation observation data, and reduce its contribution to the fusion result; if the turbulence intensity is less than or equal to 15%, the occultation data can stably reflect the average state of the large-scale wind field and is not affected by terrain obstruction, thereby improving the weight of the occultation observation data.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present application, by dynamically adjusting the weight, the fusion process is adapted to the local conditions, relying on the local authenticity of the live weather data in the strong shear area, trusting the overall consistency of the model in the weak shear area, suppressing the local error of the occultation data in the high turbulence area, and taking advantage of the large-scale observation in the stable area. This adaptive mechanism significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of the fusion result.

[0085] The traditional numerical weather prediction model simulates the wind field based on a large-scale dynamic framework and a parameterization scheme. For the near-surface layer, the local wind speed vertical shear and airflow irregular disturbance caused by the surface roughness and terrain undulation cannot be accurately described, resulting in a deviation between the model output wind speed and wind direction and the actual observation. In order to solve this problem, as shown in FIG. 1, the comprehensive wind field data set is input into the numerical weather prediction model, and the wind field is iteratively optimized with the speed shear index and the turbulence intensity as physical constraints to obtain the spatiotemporal distribution of the wind field prediction data, including: Figure 3

[0086] Step one: embedding the speed shear index as a correction term of the mixing length in the boundary layer parameterization of the numerical weather prediction model, and introducing a turbulent energy source term driven by the turbulence intensity in the turbulence parameterization of the numerical weather prediction model to obtain a corrected numerical weather prediction model;

[0087] Step two: running the corrected numerical weather prediction model to generate the first round of wind speed and wind direction prediction values;

[0088] ​Step three: Compare the first round of wind speed and direction prediction values with the observed values. If the error exceeds the threshold, adjust the parameterization coefficients of the corrected numerical weather prediction model, and return to step one;

[0089] Step four: Until the iteration converges to obtain the wind field prediction data.

[0090] In specific application scenarios, the numerical weather prediction model NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) is a scientific method and technical means based on the basic physical laws of atmospheric motion, which uses high-performance computers to solve partial differential equations describing atmospheric motion, and through the given initial atmospheric state, it quantitatively predicts the atmospheric state in the future. Key elements of the numerical weather prediction model include numerical model, initial condition, boundary condition, and physical process parameterization.

[0091] In the boundary layer parameterization scheme of the numerical weather prediction model, the mixing length is a key parameter that describes the vertical motion scale of air microclusters, directly affecting the shear of wind speed with height. The traditional numerical weather prediction model assumes that the mixing length is a stability function, without considering the local vertical variation of wind speed caused by terrain disturbance. This scheme embeds the velocity shear index as a correction term in the calculation of mixing length, dynamically adjusting its distribution with height and terrain. The embedding process can be: in the boundary layer parameterization module of the NWP model, locate the mixing length calculation subroutine, introduce the velocity shear index in the original formula, and pass the real-time velocity shear index of each spatial grid point through the input field.

[0092] In addition, the traditional numerical weather prediction model's turbulence parameterization scheme estimates the turbulent kinetic energy based on the stability function, without explicitly considering the local turbulence enhancement caused by terrain disturbance; this scheme introduces a turbulent energy term driven by turbulent intensity in the turbulence parameterization equation, directly relating the turbulent intensity and the generation rate of turbulent kinetic energy. The embedding process can be: in the turbulence parameterization module of the NWP model, modify the source term part of the turbulent kinetic energy equation, add a calculation subroutine, and input the real-time turbulent intensity of each spatial grid point.

[0093] Run the corrected NWP model to generate the first round of wind speed and direction prediction values; compare the prediction values with the observed values in the multi-source meteorological data set. If the error exceeds the threshold, adjust the parameterization coefficients of the model, and return to step one to run the corrected NWP model again until the iteration converges to obtain the wind field prediction data.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the velocity shear exponent is embedded in the mixing length correction term to dynamically increase the mixing length in steep terrain areas, so that the NWP model can more accurately simulate the physical process of airflow acceleration along the slope. For example, in the windward slope area, the corrected mixing length allows the vertical movement of air parcels to be stronger, so that the output vertical profile of wind speed is closer to the measured logarithmic distribution, and the prediction error of the velocity shear exponent is reduced by 20%-30%. By introducing a turbulent energy source term driven by turbulent intensity, the intensity of airflow fluctuations is explicitly related to the generation rate of turbulent kinetic energy, which significantly increases the simulation value of turbulent kinetic energy in high turbulence areas, making the output wind speed fluctuation amplitude of the NWP model more matched with the measured value. For example, the prediction error of the turbulent intensity in the leeward slope area is reduced by 15%-25%, and the stability prediction of wind direction fluctuation is more consistent with the actual situation.

[0095] There are significant differences in wind field patterns at different spatial grid points in the wind farm area. The traditional method does not systematically classify these differences, which may lead to the placement of a wind measurement tower at an isolated point with a special wind field pattern, which cannot represent the overall characteristics of the region. To solve this problem, the embodiment of the present application also includes clustering wind field prediction data and selecting candidate locations for the wind measurement tower based on the clustering results, which includes: extracting statistical features and temporal variability features of each spatial grid point from the wind field prediction data to construct a wind field feature vector; wherein the statistical features include maximum wind speed, minimum wind speed, average wind speed, wind speed variability coefficient and wind direction standard deviation; the temporal variability features include periodicity features or trend change indicators; clustering the wind field feature vectors of all spatial grid points and dividing them into multiple wind field characteristic clusters according to the similarity of wind field characteristics.

[0096] By clustering analysis of the wind field feature vectors of all spatial grid points, the grid points are divided into multiple wind field characteristic clusters according to the similarity of wind field characteristics, and each cluster represents a type of wind field pattern with similar spatial distribution of wind speed and direction and temporal variability features. This grouping method reveals the spatial heterogeneity of the regional wind field, enabling site selection personnel to clearly identify the distribution range of different wind field patterns and avoid placing the wind measurement tower at isolated points with abnormal wind field patterns, significantly improving the scientificity of site selection. For example, in a mountain wind farm, clustering can distinguish between a mountain top stable wind field cluster and a mountain valley vortex wind field cluster, and the wind measurement tower is preferentially selected in the mountain top cluster to represent stable wind resources.

[0097] On the basis of the above embodiment, the spatial grid points that meet the preset conditions are selected as candidate locations for the wind measurement tower, which includes: from the multiple wind field characteristic clusters, extracting the average wind speed, wind speed variability coefficient, wind direction standard deviation and location information of each spatial grid point in its wind field characteristic cluster; selecting the spatial grid points that simultaneously satisfy the conditions of average wind speed not less than 5 m / s, wind direction standard deviation not greater than 30°, wind speed variability coefficient not greater than 0.2, and being in the central region of the wind field characteristic cluster as candidate locations for the wind measurement tower.

[0098] The threshold of the average wind speed not less than 5 m / s ensures that the screened wind tower position has the basic wind resource condition for developing wind power and focuses on the area with high wind energy potential; the limitation of the wind direction standard deviation not greater than 30° ensures that the wind direction of the area where the wind tower position is located has good stability, which helps to obtain reliable wind resource data and ensure the long-term stable operation of the wind power plant; the threshold of the wind speed variation coefficient not greater than 0.2 ensures that the wind speed of the area where the wind tower position is located has good stability, which provides guarantee for the long-term reliable operation of the wind power plant. The wind field characteristic cluster is obtained by clustering analysis on the wind field characteristic vectors of all spatial grid points, and each cluster represents a kind of wind field mode with similar wind speed and wind direction spatial distribution and time variability characteristics. The cluster center area is a typical representative area of this kind of wind field mode, and the wind field characteristics can reflect the common characteristics of the cluster, and have high representativeness and typicality.

[0099] The embodiment scheme of the present application can efficiently lock the optimal position with rich wind resources, stable wind conditions and regional representativeness from a large number of spatial grid points through multi-dimensional index screening, and significantly improves the accuracy of the wind tower site selection.
