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.
