Vijayant Kumar is the Vice-President of Renewable Resources & Technology at Fremantle Energy. He brings an extensive background in boundary layer meteorology, computational fluid dynamics and atmospheric measurement techniques to the Fremantle Team. At Fremantle, Dr Kumar is responsible for technical assessment/evaluation of current and evolving renewable energy technologies as well as all wind resource assessment, turbine selection, turbine layout design, field measurement campaign and site selection/suitability assessment. Dr. Kumar has earned a Ph.D. in Boundary Layer Meteorology from Johns Hopkins University . In his doctoral research, he developed a state-of-the-art computationally efficient Large Eddy Simulation (LES) tool and performed the first known high-resolution LES study of the multi-day evolution of atmospheric boundary layer over complex terrain. The emphasis of his doctoral work is on impact of atmospheric stability and surface heterogeneity on wind flow in the diurnal atmospheric boundary layer . His work has been used as a benchmarking tool for inter-comparison studies in the International GEWEX Atmospheric Boundary Layer Study (GABLS). Dr Kumar also actively collaborates with scientists at research universities (EPFL, Lausanne ) on research problems addressing accurate modeling of flows over complex terrain. He has been recently invited by Risoe University to be part of an international benchmarking effort for wind flow over complex terrain. He has authored several refereed scientific journal articles and over a dozen international conference presentations on wind resource assessment, boundary layer meteorology, land-atmosphere energy dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, atmospheric measurement techniques and pollutant dispersion.
