Impact of wind farm wakes on flow structures in and around downstream wind farms

We performed large-eddy simulations in a neutral atmospheric boundary layer to study the interaction between two identical wind farms with 72 turbines each. demonstrate that farm wake created by upstream affects entire flow and around downstream farm. The vertical entrainment fluxes above are strengthened, resulting faster recovery behind These findings illustrate extended structures beyond scale. Furthermore, we wakes can reduce power production of throughout farms. additionally observe staggered extracts more energy from thus creates stronger than an aligned
