Abstract

This paper proposes of real wind speed prediction method over complex terrain by using CFD. It is an attempt to convert the wind distribution on the computer into the scalar wind speed of a real scale in consideration of the correlation with the observed data. The reproducibility and the accuracy of the real wind speed were performed by using the high resolution elevation data with 5m resolution for the Noma cape wind power plant in Kagoshima prefecture. As for the monthly average wind speed, the error relative to the observed value was within 20%.
