โœฆ Synopsis

The use of numerical mesoscale models for the evaluation of wind energy potential over non-homogeneous terrain is outlined, focusing on the following: (i) an overview of modelling investigations of relevance to wind energy; and (ii) a discussion ofthe optimal implementation ofmesoscale models in wind energy studies.

## Abstract Continuous measurements of wind were made throughout a layer extending from the surface to a depth of 12m over a distance along the direction of the wind of about 150 metres. It has been found that the variation in the elevation of the underlying terrain has a profound effect, larger th

Laboratory experiments were conducted to study the properties of roughness parameters over surfaces with small-scale heterogeneity, using a wind tunnel ยฎtted with an underlying weighting lysimeter packed with uniform ยฎne sand. Either small columns or sand ridges were distributed homogeneously or non
