Introduction wind turbine wakes
1. Basic wake deficit - pairs of wind turbines; a) Power deficit; b) Peak deficit vs turbulence;
2. Rows of turbines; a) Constant spacing (small or large); b) Speed recovery due to ”missing” turbines;
3. Wind farms with variable spacing; 4. Park efficiency; 5. Wind farm clusters = Farm – Farm wake

Cluster effects - discussion
• Quantification of the cluster effect is not possible due to lack of measurements and park asymmetry.
• The benchmark have demonstrated that both size and location of the distinct deficit zones - caused by the Nysted wind farm have been predicted quite well by the models.
• The benchmark concludes that several models were able to handle the clustering of wind farms.

Alpha Ventus wind farm wake verification Results and discusion
IWES ship lidar AD/RANS WAsP/DTU FLaP/IWES
Normalized wind speed at 90 m height based on 40 minutes averaged inflow conditions
• The comparison represent 40 minutes of measurements and
model results; • The magnitude of the deficit can be simulated in average within
a tolerance of 7% for 40 m and 90 m (=hub) heights, but with increasing deviations above hub height;
• The position of the wakes from the simulations do match well the initial wakes from the AREVA turbines.
• The modeled Senvion wakes deviates from the measured, probably caused by a change in the wind direction (5-10°).
