BACK TO LAB // offshore wind

Offshore wind studio.

An offshore array running the real Jensen wake model. Each turbine leaves a slower, expanding wake behind it, so pack the rows along the wind and the back turbines starve. Drag the layout, swing a real wind day in off the North Sea, and let the optimiser claw the megawatts back.

FARM ADVISOR

RATED Above 13 m/s the turbines hold rated power, so wakes barely matter here. ▸ Wake losses bite hardest in the partial-load region below rated wind.
OUTPUT Farm output 128.0 MW, 100% of the wake-free ideal, capacity factor 100%. ▸ This is the megawatt feed that would dispatch into the grid as wind.
