If you’re assessing AEP or lifetime loads on a project where the surrounding cluster is still evolving, this quick talk will be interesting. Using a hypothetical 4 GW North Sea cluster modelled across five wind farm zones with Whiffle LES, we show how aerodynamic losses compound as neighbouring zones come online — from 10.4% for a single zone to 21.4% for the full cluster — and how turbulent loads increase alongside.
Tune in to this presentation (presented by Whiffle Business Development Advisor, Bob Meijer) to learn how you can switch offshore wind farms on and off in a simple workflow, quickly test multiple development scenarios, and assess yield and load impacts year by year in evolving clusters, all within Whiffle Wind.
