Characteristics of Offshore Wind Farm Wakes and their Impact on Wind Power Production from Long-term Modelling and Measurements

As the penetration of offshore wind farms continues to increase in Western Europe, the North Sea in particular is becoming more densely populated by offshore wind farms. Wind turbine wakes have been a topic of great research in the field of wind energy for some time, however the industry now seeks an understanding of the in- fluence of the wake...

Modelling and validation of wind turbine wake superposition: Using wind farm data

The wind field and, more importantly, the power production change when downstream wind turbines are located in the wake of an upstream wind turbine. Wind farms become larger and therefore the field becomes more complex. Turbines will experience the influence of the wake of multiple wind turbines. The interaction of these wakes can be modelled...
