Large eddy simulations of wind farms are performed to study the effects of wind turbine row
alignment with respect to the incoming flow direction. Various wind farms with fixed stream …

Wind-farm blockage is investigated by means of an analytical model based on the linearized
Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equation. Despite the simplifications, useful insight is …

Abstract Multi wind tUrbine Simulation Tool (MUST) is a new CENER's in-house code,
based on NREL's OpenFAST code, designed to allow the aero-hydro-servo-elastic …

Understanding how blockage influences large wind farms is essential as the first row
produces the most energy and is often used as a reference for the subsequent rows. We use …

Recent large eddy simulations have led to improved parameterizations of the effective
roughness height of wind farms. This effective roughness height can be used to predict the …

Due to intermittent nature of renewable energy sources (RESs) and their strong dependence
on various environmental factors, it is imperative to carefully deploy these sources. A survey …

A method of increasing the performance of wind farms has been established by limiting the
lateral separation between neighbouring wind turbines. The close proximity of the wind …

To assess the uncertainty in blockage quantification, this study proposes a comparison of
farm blockage predictions from wind-tunnel experiments, Reynolds Averaged Navier …

To maximize the profitability of wind power plants, wind farms are often characterized by
high wind turbine density leading to operations with reduced turbine spacing. As a …

This paper discussed the procedure of an optimization design method involving a small lab-
scale wind turbine rotor. To simulate the aerodynamic performance of a prototype wind …
