Wind Plant Flow Physics and Power Performance in Complex Environments Cooperative Research and Development Final Report

Summary

This report details a cooperative research effort between the National Laboratory of the Rockies and Cornell University to address the challenge of understanding wind farm wake effects and improving plant efficiency in complex environments. The approach involved analyzing existing data, applying models, and primarily designing the large-scale American WAKE Experiment (AWAKEN) field campaign, with Cornell providing critical lidar observation and analysis. The CRADA work is completed, having successfully designed AWAKEN and laid the groundwork for further research into wind farm-atmosphere interactions.
