Short summary
Offshore wind farm clusters cause reduced wind speeds in downstream regions which can extend over more than 50 km. We analysed the impact of these so-called cluster wakes on a distant wind farm using remote-sensing wind measurements and power production data. Cluster wakes caused power losses up to 55 km downstream in certain atmospheric states. A better understanding of cluster wake effects reduces uncertainties in offshore wind resource assessment and improves offshore areal planning.
