Theme 1 : The Farm

Supergen Wind 1 looked at a number of different areas in relation to the operation of the farm. The results of Supergen Wind 1 and other research projects, some of which have been described in Section 0, have highlighted a number of further areas of research for Supergen Wind 2, namely:

  • An improved estimate of the offshore wind resource;
  • Work on improved prediction of losses in large wind turbine arrays;
  • Expanding work on radar impacts;
  • An analysis of offshore (as opposed to onshore) wind turbine reliability data.

Sub-themes:

1.1 Offshore wind resource

1.2 Wakes and aerodynamics

1.3 Radar and the environment

1.4 Optimisation of farm performance

1.5 Multiple wake impacts on machines
