Fast blockage models for wind-farm power prediction

Abstract. Large offshore wind farms can trigger atmospheric gravity waves, with the associated hydrostatic blockage effect impacting their energy yield. Unfortunately, to date no tools exist that can model this wind-farm gravity-wave interaction and blockage at a computational cost that is not drastically higher than conventional engineering wake ...
