A new Co-operative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) has been signed between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and two Cornell faculty researching wind energy Professor Rebecca Barthelmie (MAE) and Professor Sara C Pryor (EAS). The agreement entitled ‘Wind plant flow physics and power performance in complex environments’ is focused on co-operative research into how the complex flows around wind turbines (wakes) interact, especially in large arrays, and how this impacts power output and the near-environment. This work continues a long-standing co-operation between the two... Read more
