Very far site prediction

[Shin]

A proposed site is very far from local measured site.

Approx. 25km.

In this case, can the traditional wasp calculation be used?

Nor can WASP-CFD estimates more accurate results?

Dear Shin,

WAsP can in some cases be utilized for masts at distant locations, but it is essential to follow the WAsP similarity principle, which states that the meteorological mast area and the proposed site should closely resemble each other. More information on the similarity principle is available here:

The use of WAsP CFD is advised for semi-complex or complex terrains, where the traditional linear model has limitations as it often excludes non-linear effects that are crucial for accurate wind simulation in such complex areas. The site's distance from the meteorological mast is not the primary factor for using WAsP CFD.

Best regards,
Stefan
