}An extended theoretical approach is proposed to predict the average power of wind turbines in a large finite-size wind farm. The approach is based on the two-scale momentum theory proposed recently for the modelling of ideal very large wind farms, but the theory is now generalised by introducing the effect of additional pressure difference induced by the farm between the upstream and downstream sides of the farm, making the approach applicable to real wind farms that are large but not as large…
