Enhanced wind-farm performance using windbreaks

The flow speed-up generated by windbreaks can be used to increase the power production of wind turbines. However, due increased drag imposed windbreaks, their use in large turbine arrays has been questioned. We eddy simulations show that farms. A crucial finding is a farm should much lower than for single case. In fact, optimal windbreak an isolated reduce performance. height namely depends on right balance between over and all farm. performance result favorable total pressure flux created windbreaks.
