Predicting Interference Patterns Between Offshore Wind Farms through Wake Analysis

Melissa Matis

Abstract

This research is to characterize the wake effect from a cluster of offshore wind turbines with the purpose of optimizing spacing between separate farms to avoid wake interference.Placing wind turbines within a field of disturbed flow decreases power output, and in some cases, threatens structural integrity.Unsteady loading and fluxes in wind turbine power generation are
