Abstract

FAST.Farm is a medium-fidelity wind farm modeling tool that can be used to assess power and structural loads contributions of wind turbines in a wind farm. The objective of this paper is to undertake a calibration procedure to set the user-defined parameters of FAST.Farm to accurately represent results from large-eddy simulations. The results provide an in-depth analysis of the comparison of FAST.Farm and large-eddy simulations before and after calibration. The comparison of FAST.Farm and large-eddy simulation results are presented with respect to streamwise and radial velocity components as well as wake-meandering statistics (mean and standard deviation) in the lateral and vertical directions under different atmospheric and turbine operating conditions.
