Short summary
Established turbine wake models are steady-state. This paper presents an open-source dynamic wake modeling framework that complements established steady-state wake models with dynamics. It is advantageous over steady-state wake models to describe wind farm power and energy over shorter periods. The model enables researchers to investigate the effectiveness of wind farm flow control strategies. This leads to a better utilization of wind farms and allows them to be used to their fullest extent.
