The effects of freestream turbulence on the turbine wake characteristics have been experimentally investigate with a wind tunnel. Using a large-scale turbulence grid, the high level turbulence involved in the freestream was generated. The turbulence measurements indicate that the wake structure of wind turbine markedly changes with an increase in freestream turbulence. This is caused by the increases in the critical Reynolds for an aerofoil with the intensity of velocity fluctuation in freestream.
