We are pleased to announce that a research paper written by our company representative, Konagaya, has been published in the international academic journal "Energies" (MDPI, Impact Factor: 3.2) in the field of energy engineering.
This research is based on the results of a large-scale lidar observation campaign conducted at the Mutsu Ogawara offshore observation site as part of the NEDO project "Establishment of offshore wind observation methods" carried out from 2019 to 2022.
In the paper, the accuracy of the WRF model and several CFD (computational fluid dynamics) models was verified using observational data from multiple lidars deployed from the coast to offshore.Atmospheric StabilityThe analysis focused on the effect of "Neutral StateHowever, it became clear that this is not dominant in the actual offshore environment and that there are large variations depending on the season and time of day.
As a result,Models that properly consider atmospheric stability demonstrate high accuracy, especially in reproducing vertical wind speed profiles.This confirmed the results, providing important insight that will contribute to the advancement of wind condition analysis methods for offshore wind power generation in the future.
