TurbOPark wake model

WindFarmer: Analyst includes the TurbOPark model as released by Ørsted [32] and published in [33].

The model implemented in WindFarmer uses the expansion parameter of A = 0.04 from Ørsted’s model tuning against offshore projects as described in [34]. During the model tuning, TurbOPark was run coupled to a blockage model, which is further developed beyond the Rankine Half Body described in [35]. Whilst Ørsted's updated blockage model remains unpublished, we suggest results from TurbOPark run in isolation without that blockage model should be treated as experimental and not used for commercial work.

If you would like to experiment with TurbOPark, please contact WindFarmer support and we can activate this feature for you by providing a licence update.
