High-Fidelity Wind Farm Simulations for a Sustainable Energy System on Gotland (GoSET)
Simulation of a wind farm with 20 wind turbines.
The island of Gotland will be the first region in Sweden to be powered solely by renewable energy. The vast majority of electricity will be supplied by wind energy, with a swath of new wind farms being planned around the island with ever increasing size.

Description
Uppsala University is leading a long-term collaborative project, the main objective of which is to identify the measures needed to make Gotland's energy system 100% renewable.
The island of Gotland will be the first region in Sweden to be powered solely by renewable energy. The vast majority of electricity will be supplied by wind energy, with a swath of new wind farms being planned around the island with ever increasing size. These farms push the boundaries of current wind farm simulation capabilities. The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a new approach to wind farm modelling that can significantly reduce the computational cost of high-fidelity simulations of large wind farms. This project aims at building an LBM framework for conducting wind farm simulations, explore wind farm control methods and model the future energy system on Gotland.
