Wind Farm AEP Calculation
To calculate wind farm AEP, the factors of turbine property, turbine layout, wind resource, and mast are to be taken into account.
As the wind farm element varies for each user, Greenwich offers three calculation modes in wind farm design, each of which is applicable in a specific scenario.
- Real frequency: Used when mast exists and CFD model calculation is completed
- WRB: Used when you have wind resource map
- Mesoscale: Used when no mast or wind resource map is available
The calculation in these three modes are introduced in detail in the following sections, and the way to check calculation result is also demonstrated.
