Interaction of Wind Turbine Wakes under Various Atmospheric Conditions

We present a numerical study of two utility-scale 5-MW turbines separated by seven rotor diameters. The effects of the atmospheric boundary layer flow on the turbine performance were assessed using large-eddy simulations. We found that the surface roughness and the atmospheric stability states had a...
