VV-007 — Wake Models (PyWake / FLORIS parity)

This study checks whether Rune wake-model behavior remains numerically coherent against market reference tools before those models are used in screening and bankability workflows.

This static HTML snapshot is generated at build time to expose route-specific metadata, crawlable summaries, and structured content for search engines and AI assistants before the client app hydrates.

Benchmark context

PyWake and FLORIS are common reference environments for wind-farm wake analysis, so parity against them is a strong trust signal for developers and engineering teams.

What the study found

Published target: Dynamic CT abs error <= 1.00%. Reported result: 0.79% max abs error. Interpretation: -0.21 pp vs target.

  • Dynamic thrust-coefficient handling stayed inside the stated error envelope.
  • The study covers Jensen, Bastankhah, and GCH behavior under matched reference assumptions.
  • Results are framed for engineering due diligence rather than marketing-only claims.

References and source material

These references summarize the public benchmark context and the report package that supports the claim.

  • PyWake reference cases and DTU documentation
  • NREL FLORIS documentation and matched wake reference curves
  • Rune VV-007 wake-model validation report
