Physics-Informed Graph Neural Network Surrogate for Operational Estimation of Wake-Induced Power Losses in Wind Farms

Limited land packs wind turbines a few rotor diameters apart as electricity demand continues to rise. Wind already supplies about 10% of U.S. electricity and 23% of Texas ERCOT generation. Each rotor leaves a wake of slower, more turbulent air. Power scales with the cube of wind speed, so a 15% speed drop is about a 39...
