The study, in general, includes the following steps: Collection and analysis of wind dataCreate a wind flow model using one of the know wind simulation tools (WAsP, WindFarm, WindSim, WindPRO, Meteodyn WT, ZephyCFD, openWind)Create a wind map of the wider areaPredicting wind speed at each wind turbine location and comparing it to the actual wind speed as recorded by the Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) wind turbine system.

The microscale modeling applied in the followed analysis is based upon Meteodyn WT which is a CFD software for wind energy assessment. The solver is based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. It solves the atmospheric flow for a steady state case by implementation of a transportation equation for turbulence kinetic energy (as known as one equation k closure scheme) with considering topography and thermal effects [3]. The RANS equations are shown as (1).
