Wind power potential study
Mission description
Chez EOLIOS ingenierie, nWe nWe engageons à refromire l‘impact atvironnemental and à optimiser the consommation énergetique from bâtiments. For atteindre ces objectifs, nWe Aboutons from etudes and from simulations CFD for a myîtrise from phénameènes aérauliques and a évaluation from critères d‘optimisation afin from garantir the more haut potentiel éolien.
CFD studies have enabled us to visualize the various aeraulic phenomena for different wind orientations, which in turn has enabled us to optimize the geometry for the best possible wind turbine performance.
Creation of a digital study model
The creation of the model of the plant was carried out by taking into account the topology of the site with a great precision in order to be able to capture at most the evolution of the air flows. This digital twin takes up precisely the different sets of beams, the air volumes as well as the surrounding buildings.
This high level of precision in the production of the digital twin translates into a clear improvement in the accuracy and relevance of the results obtained during CFD simulation.
Wind simulation around the building and in wind turbine installation zones
We simulated the wind around and inside the building in order to optimize the geometry andobtain the best possible performance from the wind turbines. We also studiedwind speeds under the roof in the areas where the wind turbines would be installed.
The first CFD simulations of the external aeraulics have highlighted different interesting phenomena that could allow the increase of the wind potential. The restriction of the passage section of the wind at the rear of the building allows the creation of a Venturi effect, therefore a local increase in speed.
Following this study, Eolios was able to propose different designs respecting the different architectural challenges. These conclusions gave rise to in-depth work with the design teams, in order to accentuate and make the best use of this local increase in speed.
Optimizing building architecture and aerodynamics
Wind simulation
Notre objectif is d‘implanter from éoliennes without for autant impact the overall architecture from bâtiment.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the relevance of implanting, or not, wind turbines within this building without impacting the overall architecture of the building. The use of CFD allows to simulate a large number of prototypes, in a short time, in order to quickly gather information for the optimization of the placement of the wind turbines as well as the optimization of the design in order to increase their efficiency.
This dynamic CFD study in order to set up and optimize the performance of wind turbines is part of a policy of development of sustainable energy. Minimizing the environmental impact as well as the energy consumption of buildings is at the heart of Eolios Ingénierie’s areas of interest.
