C. Model Aggregation
I ) Aggregated Wind Speed Modelling
The wind speed can be consideIed to consist of four terms,
namely an average value, a ramp calmponent, a gust
component and turbulence [ll], [12]. In deriving the wind
speed signal for the aggregated wnd park model, it is assumed
that the wind speed can be split up in a filly deterministic and
a fully stochastic part. The stochastic pert consists of the
turbulence. In the aggregated park model, this term is
neglected, because in a wind park the effect of turbulence on
the aggregated output power is reduced due to the smoothing
effect of the large number of wind turbines, as can be
concluded fiom measurements carried oul at existing wind
parks [ 131.
The fully deterministic part consists of the average value and,
if present, the gust and ramp component. 'The average value
can be assumed to be the same tlilroughout the park. The gust
and ramp components travel throiugh the park and the time at
which they arrive at the individual turbines depends on the
average wind speed, the angle of attack and the wind park
layout. The start and stop times (of the gust and the ramp at
each individual wind turbine cart thus be calculated fiom a
single wind speed signal applied to the aggregated wind park
model as a whole, taking into account the wind direction and
the park layout. The wind speed signal is specified by the start
and stop times of the gust and the ramp relative to the centre of
the wind park and the wind direction.
