The American WAKE experimeNt (AWAKEN): Groundbreaking International Field Research Addresses Wind Farm Atmosphere Interactions

    Research output: NRELFact Sheet

    Abstract

    To help provide that understanding, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) funds the American WAKE experimeNt (AWAKEN). AWAKEN is an international, multi-institutional wind energy field campaign designed to answer the most pressing science questions about the impacts of wind turbine wake effects. From 2022 to 2024, AWAKEN will gather observational data about the atmosphere around and within operational wind farms, validate wind farm models, and advance understanding of wind farm behavior.
