Motivation Grouping two or more wind turbines results in a loss of energy production when the turbines operate [partly] in the wake of each other. Wake deficit highly depends on: •Spacing; •Wind speed; •Turbulence; •Stratification;

Determination of offshore stratification • Theory: Monin – Obukhov MO-length L:
1/L = (g *)/( Ts u*2)
Characteristic temperature:
*=-‚’w’Ú/u*
Friction velocity:
u* =‚-u’w’Ú½

Quantification of power deficit – caused by stratification • Extract power deficit for 0 – 360° All observations - reference Stable stratification (vs,s) Neutral stratification (ns,n,nu) Unstable stratification (u,vu)
• Demostration wind farm: Horns Rev (80x2 MW) • Results for wind speed 8±1 m/s • Reference wind speed ≈ ”free” wind turbines ~ 100%

Conclusion • Robust classification of stratification; • Power deficit along wind turbines; • Park polar for 0 – 360 degree inflow; • Park efficiency estimation; • Estimated park efficiency varies up ±2% due to stability effects;
