Researchers developed new model for better output preditction of wind turbines

The model could aid in the development of new wind farms or help optimize those already in use

A new computational model developed by engineers at Johns Hopkins University's Ralph S. O'Connor Sustainable Energy Institute can accurately predict the power output of wind farms—even those using irregular and non-traditional wind turbine arrangements. This approach could aid in the design of new wind farms and help to use those already in operation more efficiently. "We need to be able to predict the power output for a wind farm in the design stage so that the farm can be placed in the most advantageous location and with optimized turbine placements. Better and faster modeling can help us save money when... ... More: Official Press Release John Hopkins University
