Data-driven parameter calibration in wake models

Physical interactions among wind turbines, called wake effects, are known to be one of the significant factors that affect power generation performance in wind power systems. Among several wake modeling approaches, physics-based engineering models, such as Jensen’s model, have been widely used due to their computational tractability. Although substantial efforts have been made to improve the accuracy of engineering wake models, few studies suggest calibrating the model parameters in the literature. We propose a new data-driven calibration approach for adjusting the model parameters using real operational data.
