About this document

Wind Farm Atmospheric Impact Analysis by Rabir Terhan is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document presents a new parameterization for modeling the effects of wind farms on the atmosphere using a blade element momentum method. The model is validated against power curves from three different wind turbines. Results show the model accurately estimates power at low to medium wind speeds but overestimates at higher speeds due to not accounting for stall. Even assuming all fossil fuel carbon is replaced with wind, only 0.002-0.050% of total atmospheric energy would be reduced, though local effect
