Abstract
Extracting energy from wind by placing wind turbines over tall buildings is an emerging idea for ”greener” cities. This paper discusses the best location for placing wind turbines based on numerical simulations. Different building geometries are considered by varying the dimension and number of buildings. Here real atmospheric boundary layer profiles are created with the help of the Weather Research and Forecasting model and also compared with the theoretical profiles from power law equation. Outputs from the simulations show the location where wind velocity is maximum and the possibility of placing wind turbines on the top as well as in the gap between the buildings. The paper also describes the significance of using realistic profiles instead of theoretical profiles.
