Today we know that wake effects in offshore wind farms are much more pronounced and long lasting than in onshore installations. To support your work by accurate modelling results, we have integrated the wind farm and wake model, FUGA, into our modelling platform. FUGA is optimised for offshore applications and, in particular, is able to model long distance wakes as they occur within and downstream from large offshore wind farm installations.
