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 model of the plant was created taking into account the topology of the site with great precision, in order to capture the evolution of air flows as accurately as possible.
This digital twin precisely reproduces the different sets of beams, air volumes and surrounding buildings.
This high level of precision in the creation 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.
Initial CFD simulations of the external aeraulics have highlighted a number of interesting phenomena that could increase wind potential.
Restricting the cross-section of wind flow to the rear of the building creates a Venturi effect, and thus a local increase in speed.
Following this study, Eolios was able to propose different designs, while respecting the different architectural challenges.
These conclusions led to in-depth work with the design teams, to accentuate and exploit 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 aim of the study is to assess whether or not wind turbines should be installed in the building, without impacting on its overall architecture.
The use of CFD allows a large number of prototypes to be simulated in a short space of time, in order to quickly gather information for optimizing the placement of wind turbines, as well as optimizing the design to increase their efficiency.
This dynamic CFD study with the aim of setting up and optimizing the performance of wind turbines is part of a policy of developing sustainable energies.
Minimizing the environmental impact and energy consumption of buildings is one of Eolios ingénierie’s core interests.
