The location and layout of the farm is optimized by considering the sea depth data obtained from bathymetric maps and wind speed measurements acquired from the MERRA data and local met mast. Dynamic interactions among the turbines and the resulting wake losses are modeled by using two different site assessment programs. Capacity factors and the annual energy production yields are calculated for 8 different types of turbines with rated powers changing between 2 and 3.6 MW.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWind EnergyOffshore Wind TurbineCluster/Farm DesignFluid MechanicsDynamic İnteractionsFarmOptimizationGenerationStateArticle2-s2.0-8510863967310.35378/gujs.7348954372Q3423113731434N/AWOS:000659983900009
