The prediction of the energy production of a wind farm

In order to predict the energy production of the wind farm it is necessary to undertake the following tasks:

  • Predict the variation in the long-term wind speed over the site at the hub height of the machines, based on the long-term wind speeds at the mast locations
  • Predict the wake losses that arise as a result of one turbine operating behind another – i.e. in its wake
  • Calculate or estimate the other losses
