Abstract:
This work presents validation of an intermediate version of a quasi-steady wind farm flow model which will be part of distributed control of a wind farm. In addition power and three load quantifiers as calculated by the model are demonstrated. It is concluded that differences between measurement and prediction are smaller than 2 m/s (wind speed) and 200 kW (power), measured minimum in wind speed and aerodynamic power at second or third turbine is not predicted, and main differences originate from un-modelled spatial variations in wind speed and too gradually modelled decay of wind speed.
