GoSET – High-Fidelity Wind Farm Simulations for a Sustainable Energy System on Gotland

The island of Gotland will be the first region in Sweden to be powered solely by renewable energy. The vast majority of electricity will be supplied by wind energy, with a swath of new wind farms being planned around the island with ever increasing size. These farms push the boundaries of current wind farm simulation capabilities. The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a new approach to wind farm modelling that can significantly reduce the computational cost of high-fidelity simulations of large wind farms. This project aims at building an LBM framework for conducting wind farm simulations, explore wind farm control methods and model the future energy system on Gotland.

This project is a part of Uppsala University Graduate School in Sustainability Studies (GRASS).
