Wind energy, together with other renewable energy sources, are expected to grow
substantially in the coming decades and play a key role in mitigating climate change and …

Similar to other renewable energy sources, wind energy is characterized by a low power
density. Hence, for wind energy to make considerable contributions to the world's overall …

A new analytical wake model is proposed and validated to predict the wind velocity
distribution downwind of a wind turbine. The model is derived by applying conservation of …

In the wind industry, power prediction of wind farm is commonly implemented by analytical
wake models, which is low-cost but insufficient in accuracy for high-turbulent wake …

A numerical study of atmospheric turbulence effects on wind-turbine wakes is presented.
Large-eddy simulations of neutrally-stratified atmospheric boundary layer flows through …

A modeling framework is proposed and validated to simulate turbine wakes and associated
power losses in wind farms. It combines the large-eddy simulation (LES) technique with …

In very large wind farms, the vertical interaction with the atmospheric boundary layer plays
an important role, ie the total energy extraction is governed by the vertical transport of kinetic …

To study wind farm aerodynamics (WFA), the Wind Power industry currently relies on simple
Engineering Models (EM) that simulate wind farms using basic principles of physics and …

A recently-developed large-eddy simulation framework is validated and used to investigate
turbulent flow within and above wind farms under neutral conditions. Two different layouts …

Field measurements of the wake flow produced from a 2-MW Enercon E-70 wind turbine
were performed using three scanning Doppler wind lidars. A GPS-based technique was …
