Computational modeling study demonstrates coupled simulation of wake recovery and upstream wind farm blockage, indicating improved accuracy for annual energy production calculations.

Key Points

To develop and iteratively couple engineering models for downstream wake recovery and upstream wind farm blockage to better predict turbine interactions.
Formulated the Turbulence Optimized Park model by integrating ambient atmospheric turbulence and turbine-generated wake turbulence into the standard Park wake formulation.
Constructed an engineering wind farm blockage model by aggregating individual turbine blockage effects to modify park power curves and annual energy calculations.
Coupled upstream blockage and downstream wake models through an iterative process where outputs of each model serve as inputs to the other.
Model formulation captures the deceleration of wake expansion over long distances between wind farm clusters as turbine-generated turbulence decays.
Coupled iterative framework directly incorporates upstream blockage effects into aggregated wind farm annual energy yield calculations.
