Offshore wind energy generation is a central pillar of Europe’s energy transition. At the same time, it is placing increasing demands on models that are expected to reliably predict future wind power production and its impact on the atmosphere. A study by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon now shows that both atmospheric boundary conditions and technical decisions made during the development of wind farms can lead to significant differences. The various turbine parameters have a particularly strong influence on the calculations, as the associated reduction in wind speeds has a substantial impact on the results. The researchers’ findings were published in the journal Wind Energy Science.
