SuperGen

A parallel theme of research developed around offshore wind power, within the EPSRC funded SuperGen consortium, 2006 - 2014. This work concentrated on the structure and development of wind turbine wakes and the interaction between wakes and machines in large offshore arrays.

Its research utilised stable, neutral and unstable offshore boundary layers, establishing satisfactory simulations that widened the range of ‘standard’ flow conditions available in the EnFlo wind tunnel.
