Abstract

A common set of mathematical wind turbine wake models are implemented in a few, well-adopted computational tools for wind farm wake modelling. Although the referenced mathematical formulations are common, implementation details may lead to differences in results. This study presents a systematic comparison of the implementation of mathematical wake models in open source, Python-based wind turbine wake modelling software, and a set of the models are directly compared. Despite aligning only the mathematical model parameters and retaining the default computational model parameters, good agreement is found across most of the model implementations, and additional agreement is expected upon further parameters alignment.
