Description

technical field

[0001] The invention discloses a wind turbine wake calculation method, which belongs to the technical field of wind power generation. Background technique

[0002] When the air flows through the rotating wind rotor, due to the resistance and stirring effect of the blades, a wake area will be formed behind the wind rotor. In this area, the wind speed is reduced relative to the incoming flow, and the turbulence is enhanced, which affects the rear exhaust fans in the wake area. For large wind farms, this effect can cause a loss of 10% to 20% of the total output. Therefore, in the calculation of wind field output, the wake effect must be considered.

[0003] The wake flow of a wind turbine is affected by various factors such as the incoming flow, the aerodynamic characteristics of the fan, and the underlying surface. Based on semi-empirical formula models, such as the Jensen model proposed by N.O.Jensen and the Larsen model proposed by G.C.Larsen, many simplif...
