Accurate Wind Farm Flow Modeling

FarmShadow™

Research-oriented tool, created to support industrial R&D and innovation

FarmShadow™ combines analytical wake models to enable rapid evaluation of a wind farm’s power output and/or Annual Energy Production (AEP)

■ Wake models: velocity deficit, wake-added-turbulence, wake deflection, blockage effects and meandering

■ Easy to use, updated with IFPEN research work and collaborative projects

■ Models calibrated and validated with Large Eddy Simulations (LES), SCADA and wind tunnel data

Flexible tool, continuously updated and physically based

Main advantages

■ For Academics

• FarmShadow™ is available on demand, for research and collaborations
• Technical documentation with Python tutorials and scientific validation reports

■ For Industrials

• Accurate, reliable and fast. No site-specific tuning of model constants
• Simple python interface to easily adapt intern industrial workflows
• Integration with industrial tools (OptiWITS™)

FarmShadow™ needs users!

■ For Academics

• Free access to the tool for doctoral thesis and collaborative research projects
• If no development required: python binding of the tool with a compiled c++

■ For Industrials

• GreenWITS (IFPEN spin off) offers commercial services based on FarmShadow™

1 - Wind tunnel tests : controlled validation of wake models

Complete database from (single/multiple turbines, aligned /yawed)
Step-by-step validation of the various physical phenomena

2- Full-scale wind farms : validation in real conditions (Scada/LES)

Dozens of full-scale wind farms from 48 to 175 turbines
No site-specific tuning of model constants, with accurate results
