Shadow effects of large wind farms

The development of a meteorological software tool

Funded project: ForskEL

The project aims at developing a meteorological software tool for large wind farm planning. The project is based on data from previous projects on large wind farm shadow effect. The existing tools have proven too optimistic and the close siting of wind farms is not considered properly.
