The Department of Energy Atmosphere to Electrons (A2e) initiative has undertaken an experimental planning process for a validation directed program and an experimental planning process directed at improving simulations of wind plant performance. The validation process has been divided into two main sections: Integrated Program Planning, and Integrated Experiment and Model Planning and Execution. This document covers the Integrated Program Planning process in detail as it has been applied to the validation and assessment of models of various fidelity to predict wind plant performance. Three main parts of this process are presented in this document: the Phenomenon Identification and Ranking Table, the Validation Hierarchy, and the Prioritized Phenomenon and Experiment Mapping table. The document concludes with a description of validation program process next steps, which includes the planning and execution of integrated experiment and model campaigns
