Wind energy, together with other renewable energy sources, are expected to grow substantially in the coming decades and play a key role in mitigating climate change and …
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 …
The wake effect is a major and complex problem in the wind power industry. Wake steering, such as controlling yaw angles of wind turbines, is a proven approach to mitigate the wake …
This article presents a wind plant control strategy that optimizes the yaw settings of wind turbines for improved energy production of the whole wind plant by taking into account wake …
A wind farm's overall power production is significantly less than its nominal power, defined as the sum of the wind turbines' rated outputs. The primary cause for this significant loss is …
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 …
In this paper, a field test of wake-steering control is presented. The field test is the result of a collaboration between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Envision …
Wind turbines arranged in a wind plant impact each other through their wakes. Wind plant control is an active research field that attempts to improve wind plant performance by …
This article presents a review of control strategies for maximizing power production within wind farms. Discussions focus on three notable concepts; power de-rating, yaw-based wake …
