Dynamic induction control is a wind farm flow control strategy that utilises wind turbine thrust variations to accelerate breakdown of the aerodynamic wake and improve downstream turbine performance. However, when floating wind turbines are considered, additional dynamics and ...
Free-vortex models for wind turbine wakes under yaw misalignment
A validation study on far-wake effects
Flow Modelling for Wind Farm Control
2D vs. 3D
Control-oriented models provide a basis for wind farm control to improve power production and reduce structural loading. Wake steering is considered to be one of the most promising techniques to achieve this. Wind turbine wakes under yaw misalignment are deflected downstream a ...
Wind farm flow control aims to improve wind turbine performance by reducing aerodynamic wake interaction between turbines. Dynamic, physics-based models of wind farm flows have been essential for exploring control strategies such as wake redirection and dynamic induction contr ...
FarmConners wind farm flow control benchmark - Part 1
Blind test results
Wind farm flow control (WFFC) is a topic of interest at several research institutes and industry and certification agencies worldwide. For reliable performance assessment of the technology, the efficiency and the capability of the models applied to WFFC should be carefully eva ...
We aim to improve wind farm control for power output by building on the results from WFSim for the development of a dynamic wind farm model. This model will be part of a closed-loop, economic model-predictive control approach for wind farms. It is constructed from first princi ...
