Joining Up Observation and Simulation of Wind Farms
When assessing the monthly performance of wind farms post-construction, uncertainty in assumed wake losses contributes a substantial proportion of uncertainty in the production assessment. The operational data analysis software of Lindahl now integrates the cloud-based wake model, WakeBlaster, providing a simple interface for simulating wake climate over the project operating history of a wind farm.
