TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare different types of models from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to wind farm models in terms of how accurately they represent wake losses when compared with measurements from offshore wind farms.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed data ensembles of power losses due to wakes at the large wind farms at Nysted and Horns Rev are presented and analyzed, and a number of ensemble averages are simulated with a range of wind farm and computational fluid dynamics models and compared to observed wake losses.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present research conducted in the Flow workpackage of the EU funded UPWIND project which focuses on improving models of flow within and downwind of large wind farms in complex terrain and offshore.

TL;DR: In this article, a new approach is presented to model the wake of a turbine and a new farm control strategy is explained which aims to reduce the wake effects and the associated power losses in a wind farm.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarise the research undertaken through the European Commission funded project UpWind Wp8:Flow, which developed understanding of flow in large wind farms and evaluated models of power losses due to wind turbine wakes focusing on complex terrain and offshore.
