November 2014 meteodyn WT 5.0 3

1. Installation

Read carefully each window of the installation process

If you have a previous version of meteodyn WT : - Install the executable on a new folder - Install the Data folder in a new location - Run the migration *

- There is an automatic BACKUP if a project does not migrate

correctly - The PWX file is then stored in the BACKUP folder to be used in

a previous version of meteodyn WT

New data model inside the software from meteodyn WT Your former projects need to migrate

2. Vertical profile

User vertical profile - definition

Define by hand the vertical profile

Directly import (via the data management) a file with profile information

2. Vertical profile

Vertical profile at wind turbines

Profile at turbines after

synthesis process

fmv export

CFD directional results are

obtained and plotted in excel /

text file

Default values can be changed

in the user parameters if

needed

Vertical wind profile

automatically created at

turbine location

WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT Methodology

Pre-processing

•Site definition (orography, roughness, turbines location, met mast, …. )

•Site verification

Directional computations

•Mesh generation taking into account elevation and roughness 3D modeling

•Boundary conditions

Directional results

•Directional wind characteristics

Synthesis

•Meteorological data processing

•Wake effect computation

•IEC indicators computation (turbulence, angle, …)

Post processing

•AEP with / without wake effect

•Directional wind shear at each turbine

•Wind and turbulence matrices at each turbine

•IEC standards site suitability indicators

Modification New layout?

3. New synthesis

Define your synthesis as you usually do

The user can: - Load an existing configuration of result

points - Create a new configuration - Save a configuration

Results will be available only at the

result points defines in the layout

configuration part

- Define your climatology (mast, remote sensor or meso cell)

- Define your turbine characteristics - Eventually, compute extreme wind

speed

3. New synthesis

Requirements: - The project must contain at least one mapping - User can add points anywhere on the mapping area (not depending of the height

except in wind atlas mode)

November 2014 meteodyn WT 5.0 13

3. New synthesis

When you add some points in the display mode, then, you will have to validate your choice in the “entity selection” window.

You can add several turbines at the same location (x,y). A test is done when you click on “validate” to check that only one turbine (height) is activated.

Synthesis with new / deleted points are easily identified

November 2014 meteodyn WT 5.0 14

3. New synthesis

And after the synthesis : Display directional results

All points: Points of initial

project + additional points of all the synthesis of the

projects

November 2014 meteodyn WT 5.0 15

3. New synthesis

Configuration synthesis 3

Do not forget to click on to activate the configuration

November 2014 meteodyn WT 5.0 16

3. New synthesis

•Site of origin. If points have been added during a synthesis, they are not visible in this window.

Site window

•In the display window, the user can select the points configuration to be displayed.

Site display

•CFD results are available for all the points (points od origin + added points of any synthesis)

CFD results

•Results are available only at results points of the synthesis configuration

Synthesis results / display results

•Results in the report are depending of the access to this feature

Automatic report

November 2014 meteodyn WT 5.0 17

4. Other improvements

Other improvements (non exhaustive list): New land cover database in the database available from the interface: NLCD2011

In the “processing in progress” window, date has been added

For the Client version option, the control on the server can now be down with a licence file only ( usb dongle is not more mandatory)
