Abstract

We study the performance of extended wind farms with very large inter turbine spacings, i.e. with an inter turbine spacing of more than 10 turbine diameters, using large-eddy simulations (LES) for the special case of neutral conditions. We compare the results with predictions from different analytical modeling approaches and discuss in which parameter regimes the different model predictions agree with the LES predictions. We find in LES that the normalized power output variance increases further downstream in the wind farm.
