14:30 - 16:00 Wake modelling and forecasting
Resource assessment


Room: Hall E
In the session there will be five presentations on wake modelling and forecasting. They will focus on the limitations in wake modelling including comparison with field data, and will move into short-term power production forecasting as well as studies of uncertainty in wind power forecast methods.

Learning objectives
- Understand the latest news regarding limitations and possibilities within wake modelling approaches;
- Exemplify forecast methods and their ability to accurately predict short time ahead production output;
- Address the importance of atmospheric stability in wind power forecasting and wake modelling;
- Determine whether simple linear wake combination methods as presently used in commercial analytical software can correctly represent turbine interactions.
