Abstract

Cornell University will partner with NLR on the topic of wind farm wake effects to improve understanding of interactions between complex atmospheric flows, terrain, and wind turbine wakes and plant efficiency. Wind plant flow simulation tools will also be validated. The work performed will help improve wind farm modeling by analyzing data, applying models, designing and performing experiments to acquire additional wind farm data, and develop better models.
