This on-site Lecture Series on Multidisciplinary simulations of wind farms in complex environments from September 18th to 20th is part of the H2020 Zephyr project. It will be followed by a one-day Zephyr Final Public Workshop on Large-scale wind turbines complex terrain effect and urban wind energy: application cases on September 21st, 2023. If you wish to register to the final Zephyr workshop, please register here.
The objectives of this lecture series is to present the state-of-the-art review of on-going activities and applications of advanced meso/microscale atmospheric models and the assessment of the impact of real terrain and local atmospheric effects on the predicted aerodynamic performance, structural dynamics and noise emissions. Obviously, human factors become a critical issue when considering implementing wind turbines in densely populated urban environments. The inter-dependencies between those factors (visual vs. acoustic effects, age or occupation, etc.), which complicate further the analysis of the motivations for a community to endorse or reject a new project, will be addressed as well.
The directors of the lecture series are Dr. Christophe Schram and Dr. Sophia Buckigham from the von Karman Institute.
