Within the rapidly growing wind energy sector, floating offshore wind turbines are expected
to be the fastest growing portion. This is largely driven by the immense offshore wind …

The helix approach is a new individual pitch control method to mitigate wake effects of wind
turbines. Its name is derived from the helical shape of the wake caused by a rotating radial …

Climate change is a serious threat facing humanity. The United States (US) and many other
countries are increasing the amount of electrical power generated from renewable energy …

This article presents the results of an experimental wind tunnel study which investigates a
new control strategy named Helix. The Helix control employs individual pitch control for …

In recent years, control techniques such as dynamic induction control (often referred to as
“the pulse”) have shown great potential in increasing wake mixing, with the goal of …

Achieving the European Union's target of 510 GW of installed wind energy capacity by 2030
requires a significant expansion of the currently installed capacity of 255 GW,. As a …

Wind farm control is a strategy to increase the efficiency, and therefore lower the levelized
cost of energy, a wind farm. This is done by using turbine settings such as the yaw angle …

Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs), particularly in offshore wind farms, are gaining attention
for their capacity to potentially enhance wake recovery and increase the power density of …

Wake mixing techniques like the Helix have shown to be effective at reducing the wake
interaction between turbines, which improves wind farm power production. When these …

Many new challenges in wind energy require the use of large eddy simulation for accurate
modeling of wind farm flows. However, the immense computational cost hinders its use in …
