Description:
Abstract. A new approach to derive a synthetic wind field model which combines spatial correlations from the Mann model and intermittency is introduced. The term intermittency describes the transition from Gaussian to non-Gaussian velocity increment statistics at small scales, where non-Gaussian velocity increment statistics imply a higher probability for extreme values than a Gaussian distribution. The presented new model is named the Time-mapped Mann model. The intermittency is introduced by applying a special random time-mapping procedure to the regular Mann model. The time-mapping procedure is based on the so-called continuous-time random walk model. As will be shown, the new Time-mapped Mann field reflects spatial correlations from the Mann model in the plane perpendicular to flow direction and temporal intermittency. In the first wind turbine study, the new Time-mapped Mann field and a regular Mann field are used as inflow to a wind turbine in a blade element momentum simulation. It is shown that the wind field intermittency carries over to loads of the wind turbine and, thus, shows the importance of carefully modeling synthetic wind fields.
