Howland's Predictive Wind Farm Model Could Generate More Wind Energy

The amount of energy to be gained will vary widely, from one wind farm to another. But the model developed by this team can provide a clear prediction of exactly what the potential gains are for a given site. Even a 1% improvement means that in a typical wind farm of about 100 units, parameters could get the same output with one fewer turbine. This would translate into some 950 million in extra revenue for the wind farm operators per year.
