Study of aerophysical processes in the wind farm of the Republic of Adygey

The article presents numerical modeling of meteorological processes in the wind farm of the Republic of Adygea. The wind farm has 60 wind turbines, the capacity of each wind turbine is 2.5 MW. A test configuration with 4 nested domains was developed to study the wind farm. The computations were carried out using the WRF-ARW computational code with the wind turbine parameterization module. The calculation was performed for the period 01.04.2020 00:00 – 01.05.2020 00:00 UTC. As a result, the dimensions of the wake formed by the wind farm were obtained, and the influence of the parameterization of wind turbines on the wind distribution calculation was shown. The potential vortex wake can reach sizes up to 15 km. The losses of generated power can reach 1 MW inside the vortex wake. The computations were run on high performance cluster UNIHUB of ISP RAS.
