Abstract: This paper conducts a comparative analysis of three wind farm simulators, examining the influence of wake on the local wind speed and power output for downstream turbines using experimental data. The study features experiments in three distinct scenarios, evaluating differences among the simulators by calculating the local wind speed and power for each. Each simulator employs a unique wake model, which substantially affects the local wind speed experienced by downstream turbines. Furthermore, the experiment involves adjusting parameter values for each simulator to assess their respective impacts on wind farm performance. The findings of this research are expected to play an important role in investigations related to power optimization and wake effects in the wind farm control.
