A semi-parabolic wake model for large offshore wind farms based on the open source CFD solver OpenFOAM
Wake effect represents one of the main sources of energy loss and uncertainty when designing offshore wind farms. Traditionally analytical models have been used to optimize and estimate power deficits. However these models have shown to underestimate wake effect and consequently overestimate output...
