Collective wind farm operation based on a predictive model increases utility-scale energy production
MF Howland, JB Quesada, JJP Martínez… - Nature Energy, 2022 - nature.com
In wind farms, turbines are operated to maximize only their own power production. Individual
operation results in wake losses that reduce farm energy. Here we operate a wind turbine …

Wind turbine wake control strategies: A review and concept proposal
R Nash, R Nouri, A Vasel-Be-Hagh - Energy Conversion and Management, 2021 - Elsevier
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 …

The aerodynamics of the curled wake: a simplified model in view of flow control
When a wind turbine is yawed, the shape of the wake changes and a curled wake profile is
generated. The curled wake has drawn a lot of interest because of its aerodynamic …
