The Vindeby wind farm is located to the north of the island of Lolland at a minimum distance of 2 km from the coast. The site is impacted by the land surface to the south but this is mainly flat (<20 m) and agricultural with a roughness of approximately 0.05 m. A complete description of the site and meteorological monitoring is given in (Barthelmie et al., 1994). Description of the turbines and wake evaluation is given in (Frandsen et al., 1996). Many research activities on the Vindeby wind farm and meteorological monitoring have been conducted (e.g. (Barthelmie et al., 1996b), (Pryor and Barthelmie, 1998), (Barthelmie et al., 1996a)).
The figure above shows the layout of the site including the masts (SMW, SMS and LM) and wind farm.
