Low-level sea clouds can make offshore wind farms more efficient, say researchers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. This increase in efficiency is due to atmospheric mixing effects that shrink the wake of slower air behind nearby turbines, and the team say it could help wind farm designers make the most of ambient conditions.
Scientists have known for decades that multiple wind farms can be significantly less efficient than a single, isolated one. This is because air slows down as
