wind farms power estimation based on the different wake models and their optimization

Abstract

Wind energy is currently one of the most profitable renewable energy sources in electricity generation. However, much remains to be done to improve wind energy production. In this work, we will focus on the influence of wake models on the efficiency of wind farm design and their comparisons. this study showed the inability of wake models to predict exactly the energy produced in wind farms due to assumptions to facilitate the calculations and uncertainties of the different variables. In the rest of this work we tried to discuss the possibility standardize and adjust the loss of wake for optimal production and lifetime of a wind farm.
