Annual wake impacts in and between wind farm clusters – Part 1: WRF-simulated wake losses for different atmospheric conditions

Short summary

A WRF model simulation reveals that a new Belgian wind farm cluster causes up to 4% annual external wake energy losses on adjacent farms, with internal losses reaching 42% in the closest Dutch-Belgian cluster. External losses are driven by atmospheric stability and wind direction/speed variations, while internal losses are mainly seasonal.
