Abstract

This study investigates the wake effect of an island to develop the offshore wind farm. The main wind direction can be determined from the data processing of the QuikSCAT satellite data around the Wi-do island at south-west sea of the Korean peninsula. Computational fluid dynamics is adopted to analyze the wake effect. From this study the velocity defects due to the wake are revealed. In particular about 5% velocity defect is observed at 80m hub height from the sea surface.
