Case StudiesReferences & Success Stories
Estimating Annual Energy Production with the NWP-CFD Downscaling Method: An Analysis of 4 Italian Wind Farms
In collaboration with Italian developer CVA, Meteodyn applied NWP-CFD downscaling across four wind farms (38 turbines) in complex terrain. The method reduced AEP estimation errors from 15–32% to 7–16% compared to mesoscale-only approaches, showcasing significant improvement for early-stage wind resource assessment.
A Complete CFD Methodology Based on Iterative Model Adjustment to Improve Wind Simulation Accuracy in Highly Dense Forest Area
Meteodyn and EDF Power Solutions developed a CFD calibration framework for forested terrains, validated on complex sites. The method achieved a global mean absolute speed error of only 1.1% using standard industrial inputs, enabling reliable wind resource assessment without expensive on-site measurements.
Vattenfall validates SARWind® TIMESERIES at one Offshore Site in the North Sea
Vattenfall independently validated Meteodyn and CLS's SARWind TIMESERIES against a five-year North Sea mast record. The validation showed a correlation of 0.958, mean wind speed error of -1.0%, and AEP error of -0.7%, outperforming mesoscale models and confirming SARWind as a precise offshore resource assessment tool.
Webinar: Analysis of a CFD study of wind resources for a coastal wind project
In partnership with RERA Tech, Meteodyn applied its Meteodyn WT CFD software to Japan's first offshore wind test site at Mutsu-Ogawara. The study addressed land–sea thermal effects and forest calibration, demonstrating the value of high-resolution CFD for reducing uncertainty in complex coastal wind projects.
Actual wake loss of large wind farms and its simulation: a Goldwind’s case study
Goldwind demonstrated the efficacy of wake models in a 100 MW wind farm (40 × 2.5 MW turbines) in the Gobi Desert using Meteodyn WT. The Large Wind Farm model accurately reproduced incremental wake losses across turbine rows, while the modified PARK model underestimated them, confirming the superior predictive capability for large-scale arrays.
