ACTION:
Notice of public meeting.
This notice announces a
public meeting for interested parties to
provide DOE information on modeling
needs and experimental validation
techniques for complex flow
phenomena in and around off-shore and
on-shore utility-scale wind power
plants. DOE is requesting this
information to support the development
of cost-effective wind power

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the meeting is for DOE to
obtain input on existing gaps and future
opportunities in regards to complex
flow modeling and experimental
validation. Ultimately, research in this
area may lead to significant
improvements in wind plant efficiency
and performance, leading to a reduced
cost of energy for wind power. The
meeting is an opportunity for
participants to provide, based on their
individual experience, information and
facts regarding this topic. It is not the
object of this session to obtain any
group position or consensus. Rather,
DOE is seeking as many
recommendations as possible from all
individuals at this meeting.
The public meeting will consist of an
initial plenary session in which invited
speakers will survey available
information and needs for various
applications related to complex flow
modeling and validation testing. For the
remainder of the meeting, breakout
groups will be used to provide
participants an opportunity to present to
DOE information on specific areas
regarding existing gaps in observations
and computational products. These
groups will be an opportunity to
provide comment on information needs
for the following topics:
1. Wind Turbine Scale Modeling and
Validation Requirements
Participants will examine inflow and
outflow characteristics in the vicinity of
a single wind turbine, as well as the
implications for aerodynamic loading of
the rotor and overall structure. Several
temporal and spatial scales shall be
considered.

2. Wind Plant Scale Modeling and
Validation Requirements
Participants will examine complex
aerodynamic phenomena in, around,
and through wind plants, including
turbine-wake interaction, wake-wake
interaction, complex terrain, and
turbulence effects. Several temporal and
spatial scales shall be considered.
3. Regional Scale Modeling and
Validation Requirements
Participants will examine the
meteorological effects at the regional,
multi-wind plant scale. This exploration
of atmospheric science topics shall
include model nesting, long-term data
collection requirements, and downwind effects of wind plants.

4. Experimental Data Validation
Techniques
Participants will examine the
requirements for, as well as the
feasibility and efficacy of, existing and
future experimental techniques for cost
effective, high fidelity data collection.
Both field and laboratory experiments
will be explored.
This meeting is intended to collect
information from individuals involved
in planning, deployment, operation, and
regulation of wind energy projects,
individuals involved in meteorological
and oceanic disciplines relevant to
offshore and onshore wind energy, and
interested members of the public.
However, the meeting will not focus on
environmental impact or management
issues, which are being addressed by
separate efforts. While participation is
open to all interested parties, the
breakout structure of the meeting will
limit its overall size to about 80
participants. When the meeting is fully
subscribed, registration will be closed.
