Abstract

. The object of this work is to evaluate and compute the power potential of the KABERTEN site and to make the rigorous choice among different placements of wind turbines in order to decrease the wake effect and improve the power efficiency. Three proposals of wind farm layouts where all the turbines are faced to the prevailing wind have been used in the simulations. The results for individual and global energy yield as well as wake loss have been obtained and plotted. The wind Atlas Application Program (WASP) software of the Danish RISO laboratory is used in the study as a simulation tool to evaluate potential of the chosen site and to determine the best wind farm layout for a 25 MW project.
