Yaw control is one of the most promising active wake control strategies to maximize the total power generation of wind farms. Meanwhile, structural performance needs to be considered …
The wind turbines that operate in the wake region of the upstream turbines produce less power and may suffer serious structural issues due to highly unsteady flows, which can …
The rotor area of a wind turbine must be perfectly perpendicular to the wind to deliver the most efficient performance as a single unit (ie, yaw angle γ= 0°). When the rotor is …

Aerodynamic loss, also known as wake loss, is the most significant loss hindering wind energy from rising beyond its current single-digit percent contribution to global electricity …
The growing prospect for large farms of floating offshore wind turbines requires a better understanding of wake effects for floating turbines. In this work, large eddy simulations with …

The OpenFOAM package incorporated with actuator line method (ALM) is employed to calculate the aerodynamic characteristics of large wind turbines in an offshore wind farm. In …
One control strategy to increase power production in wind farms is angling wind turbine rotors, in order to steer wakes away from downwind turbines. Although rotor yaw is the most …
