A Numerical Study of the Effects of Wind Direction on Turbine Wakes and Power Losses in a Large Wind Farm

In this study, large-eddy simulations (LESs) were performed to investigate the effects of changing wind direction on the turbine wakes and associated power losses in the Horns Rev offshore wind farm. In the LES framework, the turbulent subgrid-scale stresses are parameterized using a tuning-free Lag...
