Wind Turbine Performance in Very Large Wind Farms: Betz Analysis Revisited
The theoretical limit for wind turbine performance, the so-called Betz limit, arises from an inviscid, irrotational analysis of the streamtube around an actuator disk. In a wind farm in the atmospheric boundary layer, the physics are considerably more complex, encompassing shear, turbulent transport...
