Wind turbine loads slightly increased by ≈2.5% in cluster wakes compared to free wind.
SCADA data was utilized to assess loading effects, revealing lower loads under cluster wake conditions.
Atmospheric stratification had no impact on load magnitude within cluster wakes, simplifying analysis.
The findings suggest a need for load sensor data to assess potential fatigue effects in offshore wind turbines.
