How turbulence can impact power performance | Wind Energy ...
Sep 09, 2012· The turbulence of the inflow to a turbine will impact the loads on the turbine and, ultimately, its life span. Certain scales of turbulence have very large impacts on loads. Even if the first row of turbines on a wind farm experiences smooth or nonturbulent flow, turbines themselves generate turbulence in their wakes, and the enhanced ...
