SWC webinar: Understanding Wind Power in Forested Landscapes
This webinar will explore new and promising techniques for wind energy in Swedish conditions, and how they can improve accuracy and reduce uncertainty in modelling. Johan Arnqvist (RISE and Uppsala University), Hugo Olivares, and Mohammad Mehdi Mohammadi (Uppsala University) will also discuss how well current industry standards work in forested areas and suggest possible directions for future improvements.
Wind power in forests comes with unique risks and challenges, mainly because the forest affects the wind conditions.
To reduce uncertainty during the pre-construction phase and to better estimate how much energy a wind park will produce each year, it's important to understand and measure the wind accurately.

Wind power in forests comes with unique risks and challenges, mainly because the forest affects the wind conditions.
To reduce uncertainty during the pre-construction phase and to better estimate how much energy a wind park will produce each year, it's important to understand and measure the wind accurately.
In recent years, there have been major improvements in how we model wind flow through forests.
Join the webinar on the 4th of September at 09.00-10.30 (CET) to hear Johan Arnqvist, Hugo Olivares Espinosa and Mohammad Mehdi Mohammadi talk about:
- What are some challenges and potentials when modelling wind power in forested areas?
-The effective roughness and its effect on turbulence and shear
-The diurnal and annual cycle
-Rotor modelling and wake effects - How does current industrial standards compare to observations and state of the art modelling?
Welcome!
