AWS Truepower updates and improves Deep-Array Wake Model used in openWind® wind plant design and optimization software

摘要

AWS Truepower has announced important updates and improvements to its Deep-Array Wake Model (DAWM), which was first released in openWind® Enterprise in 2010. Concluding a rigorous validation of plant production and wind data from several projects, AWS Truepower also confirmed that the so-called deep-array wake effect, which results in greater wake losses than predicted by standard wake models, can occur in onshore wind projects. Previous research had clearly established such an effect only for offshore projects.
