N2 - Wind turbine wake and modelling is crucial to optimizing future wind farm layouts and hence reducing the cost of energy. This paper presents the first phase of a blind test on modelling controlled and uncontrolled wind turbine wakes. The blind test is based on wind tunnel experiments of two model scale wind turbines (D = 1.1 m) one downstream of the other. The exercise is split into two phases and the first one is presented here, where participants are invited to simulate the baseline case, in which both turbines are aligned with the flow and there is no control on the either turbine. The objective of this phase is to ensure all participants can benchmark their numerical approach against a baseline open data set, where no wake control is applied. Experimental measurements include inflow velocity, turbine power and loads for a range of tip speed ratios. In the second phase, not presented here, the wake of the upstream turbine will be controlled and the performance of the downstream one will be recorded. This will be a blind test with the data not released prior to submissions. The present paper gives an overview of the initial, open benchmark case, including its objectives, methodology and experimental results.
