Matthew Crews had an interesting reference, which I skimmed. Apparently there is a 6% change in a non-trivial distance downwind from the wind farm.  If my skimming was accurate, that was measured difference, but the simulation apparently was similar.  (But now we've gotten beyond my skimming powers - there's a LOT of info in that reference!)
