Experimental and theoretical study of wind turbine wakes in yawed conditions

M Bastankhah, F Porté-Agel - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016 - cambridge.org
This work is dedicated to systematically studying and predicting the wake characteristics of a
yawed wind turbine immersed in a turbulent boundary layer. To achieve this goal, wind …

Wind farm power optimization through wake steering

MF Howland, SK Lele, JO Dabiri - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Global power production increasingly relies on wind farms to supply low-carbon energy. The

Initial results from a field campaign of wake steering applied at a commercial wind farm–Part 1

P Fleming, J King, K Dykes, E Simley… - Wind Energy …, 2019 - wes.copernicus.org
Wake steering is a form of wind farm control in which turbines use yaw offsets to affect wakes
in order to yield an increase in total energy production. In this first phase of a study of wake …
