WAKEBENCH Best Practice Guidelines for Wind Farm Flow Models

This report is a technical annex to the WAKEBENCH Model Evaluation Protocol for Wind Farm Models. This technical annex provides more detailed information on relevant elements of the model evaluation process. In particular the focus is placed on data processing techniques for the generation of qualitychecked validation data from industry measurement campaigns. A methodology for the generation of generic turbine design data for wake models is also presented. The method allows parameterizing rotor models for wake simulation in more realistic conditions than using actuator disk type of models.
