Large eddy simulation of turbine loading and performance in a wind farm

We investigate multiple wind turbines operating in a small turbine array using a coupled LES/aero-elastic method. Wake interaction effects are assessed for multiple wind-speeds, with performance of the wind farm quantified, including measurement of efficiency, controller utilisation and loading effe...
