Cluster wakes and their effect on a wind farm's annual energy production: are current models capturing the magnitude of the effects observed in SCADA data?
In this webinar, we have expanded on the results presented at WindEurope, showing validation results using key model performance metrics and comparisons to real operational data, and aggregated turbine interaction losses from two CFD models, two engineering models, as well as WRF-WFP.
Watch now to find answers to the following questions:
- How far do offshore wind farm wakes persist?
- Are they an oddity, occurring only in very particular conditions, or are they the norm?
- Can we observe their effect on wind farm operational (SCADA) data at different distances?
- Are they well captured in models?
- And most importantly, what is their impact on a wind farm AEP?
