1. 1. A COMPARISON OF THE OBSERVED WAKE EFFECT WITH SEVERAL WAKE MODELS USING BOTH ANALYTIC AND CFD SIMULATION METHODS - FOR THE CASE OF BLOCK ISLAND OFFSHORE WIND FARM

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Robbie Pratt; [2019]
   Keywords : Block Island Wind Farm; Offshore Wind Power; Wake Effect; Wake Modelling; WindPRO; WindSIM; Openwind; CFD modelling.;

   Abstract : This paper sets out to analyze the observed wake effect at Block Island Wind Farm. A comparison is made between several wake simulation methods and the observed data at Block Island using analytic and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) modelling methods. READ MORE

3. 2. Defining the Wake Decay Constant as a Function of Turbulence Intensity to Model Wake Losses in Onshore Wind Farms

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Jochanan Kollwitz; [2016]
   Keywords : N.O. Jensen model; wake losses; onshore; wind farms; forested terrain; wake decay constant; turbulence intensity; windPRO;

   Abstract : Modelling the wake effect generated by wind turbines is an essential part for calcu- lating a wind farm’s expected energy production. Operating wind turbines disturb the flow of the wind, which results in decreased production of downwind turbines. The N. O. READ MORE
