Abstract
There exists many problems in the YaLong River Basin, such as the lacking of observational data, the large area of the basin, and the complex terrain. Wind resource assessment methods in traditional that based on observation data such as weather stations’ data are difficult to apply. The refined numerical simulation method is highly dependent on calculation resources, and it is difficult to apply wind resources assessment in the entire basin. As for the problems mentioned above, we proposed a method based on WRF/CALMET coupling. In this method, a multi-scale coupling is adopted to achieve hierarchical and progressive wind resource assessment in the YaLong River Basin. Lacking of data can be well overcame by the use of the mesoscale numerical models. The introduction of fluid dynamics simulation methods can simulate the impact mechanism of complex terrain on the wind field in detail. The proposed multi-scale coupled wind resource evaluation method can obtain balance between computing resources and evaluation results.
