Wind energy is an important option of renewable energy and plays more and more an irreplaceable role in many regions. A technical and meanwhile a scientific problem directly relevant to selecting the wind farm site, optimizing the wind farm layout and evaluating the power output, is to calculate acc...

A comprehensive understanding of wind turbine wake characteristics is vital, particularly in the context of expanding large offshore wind farms. Existing wake measurement techniques provide only spatially sparse wake measurement data, limiting their utility in precise wind turbine design and control...

We present a systematic framework for the validation and uncertainty quantification of wind farm wake models. The methodology is based on a new definition of the freestream wind speed. We apply the framework on data from 19 offshore wind farms. Our results show that the new wake model TurbOPark is o...
