A theoretical model, for the calculation of the output from wind farms, is described. The model takes into account the characteristics of the turbines, and is intended to be used for optimizing the cluster configuration for a given site, where the distribution of wind speeds and velocities are known. When compared to similar, more sophisticated models, the results are generally in agreement. Full-scale measurements of wake interactions between the two Nibe turbines are presented and the results are discussed. Model calculations, carried out for the Nibe machines, show the importance of the increased turbulent mixing downstream of a turbine.
