Wake and wind farm modelling. Part A: Wind farm modelling
report
A large and increasing part of wind turbines is operating in an array or in wind farms. Consequently these wind turbines will have a reduced power output and will experience additional fluctuating wind loads. The latter effect will manifest itself as a reduction in fatigue life. In order to design economic and long-lived clusters of wind turbines, engineers need to be able to predict accurately both the overall efficiency of an array and the fatigue life ofthe machines within it. A good knowledge of the flow, and particularly turbulence properties, within the array therefore is required.
