Investigating wake reproduction of a model-scale wind turbine: experimental measurements versus large eddy simulation with actuator line

Accurate modeling of wind turbine wakes is essential for understanding turbine performance, wake interactions, and structural loading in wind energy applications. This work presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation addressing key gaps in model-scale wind turbin...

Annual wake impacts in and between wind farm clusters – Part 1: WRF-simulated wake losses for different atmospheric conditions

Abstract. With the rapid increase in wind farm developments, it is essential to evaluate the impacts of newly constructed wind farms on adjacent wind farms, both existing and planned. Numerical weather prediction models are essential tools to predict wake effects, especially unde...
