In Proceedings (online) Brussels: European WindEnergy Association (EWEA).SCALING OF MEASURED VELOCITY SPECTRA FROM THE 168 METER TALL MET-TOWER AT HøVSøRE, DENMARK: EVIDENCE OF COMBINED INERTIAL K-5/3 AND PRODUCTION K-1 SUBRANGESIN THE NEAR-NEUTRAL ATMOSPHERIC SURFACE LAYERHans Ejsing Jørgensen (Risoe National Laboratory, Wind Energy, Denmark) Poul Astrup, Denmark (1) Jakob Mann, Denmark (1) Torben Mikkelsen, Denmark (1) (1) Risoe National Laboratory Today’s ~ 5 MWatt turbines operate in the part of the spectrum that is generated by wind shear.In shear driven turbulence, the shear stress velocity u* becomes an appropriate scaling parameter and dimensional analysis for the windspectrum leads to the prediction of a so-called “production subrange” u*2k-1. We present spectral measurements from seven sonic anemometers mounted in the up to 168 m tall Høvsøre test Station met-towers.Based on these observations the classical Inertial subrange spectrum is extended with a "production subrange" Wind turbines operate in the surface-layer.In a spectral sense, surface layer turbulence at hub height is generated by wind shear on scales comparable to the hub height, then cascading throughthe Inertial subrange before dissipating. For the past generations of wind turbines, towers were relatively tall compared to the rotor diameters; and it has been a good approximation to assumethat the turbines operated entirely within the inertial subrange turbulence characterized by a k-5/3 spectrum, where k is the wave number.However, on today’s huge 2 to 5 MWatt turbines the rotor diameters have become significantly bigger than the hub height, in particular so for turbinesoperation in offshore wind farms, and so they partly operate closer to the surface, relative to the hub height. The turbines therefore now operate in the part of the spectrum that is generated by shear: In shear driven turbulence, the constant stress velocityu* becomes the appropriate scaling parameter at wave numbers smaller than 2&pi;/H;, where H is the measurement height (turbine’s hubheight). For such wave numbers dimensional analysis leads to a so-called “production subrange” of theform:u*2k-1 as originally predicted by Tchen (1951) .We present spectral measurements from seven sonic anemometers mounted in the up to 168 m tall Høvsøre test Station met-towers.The classical Kaimal spectrum is extended with a "production subrange" for scales kH <1, where H is the height above the ground and parameterisedin terms of surface layer scaling parameters. The measured spectra are compared with a model that combines both the inertial and production subrange theory.
