Abstract: Recently there has been a significant change in the distribution of wind farms in Great Britain with the construction of clusters of large offshore wind farms. These clusters can produce large ramping events (i.e. changes in power output) on temporal scales which are critical for managing the power system (30 min, 60 min and 4 h). This study analyses generation data from the Thames Estuary cluster in conjunction with meteorological observations to determine the magnitude and frequency of ramping events and the meteorological mechanism.
