Whiffle has announced a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with Ørsted to improve the accuracy of onshore wind flow modelling, addressing the challenges posed by wind behaviour in complex sites.Forested and mountainous regions are particularly difficult for accurate wind flow modelling due to the strong spatial variability in tree height, canopy density, and terrain features. The JDA between Whiffle and Ørsted aims to enhance the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model by integrating detailed terrain and vegetation data, making wind simulations more accurate and reliable in challenging onshore environments. The focus will be on refining the model to meet Ørsted’s operational needs.
