Effects of Positive versus Negative Yaw Angles on Wind-Turbine Performance: An Application of BEM Theory

Wind-turbine wakes have negative effects on wind-farm performance. They are associated with: (a) the velocity deficit, which reduces the generated power of downwind turbines; and (b) the turbulence level, which increases the fatigue loads on downwind turbi ...

Volumetric Lidar Scanning of Wind Turbine Wakes under Convective and Neutral Atmospheric Stability Regimes

Fernando Porté Agel, Giacomo Valerio Iungo

Optimization of a wind farm's layout is a strategic task to reduce wake effects on downstream turbines, thus maximizing wind power harvesting. However, downstream evolution and recovery of each wind turbine wake are strongly affected by the characteristics ...

A Betz-Inspired Principle for Kite-Power Generation Using Tethered Wings

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François, Sean Costello

This paper’s main contribution is a theoretical result that can be used to evaluate the maximum powergenerating potential of any kite-power system. An upper bound is derived for the power a wing can generate in a given wind speed. It is proven that the ang ...

A Large Eddy Simulation Study for upstream wind energy conditioning

Varun Sharma, Marc Parlange, Marc Calaf Bracons

The wind energy industry is increasingly focusing on optimal power extraction strategies based on layout design of wind farms and yaw alignment algorithms. Recent field studies by Mikkelsen et al. (Wind Energy, 2013) have explored the possibility of using ...

An Agent-Based Approach to Virtual Power Plants of Wind Power Generators and Electric Vehicles

Matteo Vasirani

Wind power is gaining in significance as an important renewable source of clean energy. However, due to their inherent uncertainty, wind generators are often unable to participate in the forward electricity markets like the more predictable and controllabl ...

Experimental study of the impact of large-scale wind farms on land-atmosphere exchanges

Fernando Porté Agel, Wei Zhang, Corey Dean Markfort

Large-scale wind farms, covering a significant portion of the land and ocean surface, may affect the transport of momentum, heat, mass and moisture between the atmosphere and the land locally and globally. To understand the wind-farm-atmosphere interaction ...

Near-wake instability and sensitivity analysis of wind turbines immersed in the atmospheric boundary layer

Fernando Porté Agel, François Gallaire, Giacomo Valerio Iungo, Francesco Viola

In wind farms, the separation distance among wind turbines is mainly determined by the downstream recovery of wind turbine wakes, which affects in turn power production and fatigue loads of downstream turbines. Thus, the optimization of a wind farm relies ...

Linear stability analysis of wind turbine wakes performed on wind tunnel measurements

Fernando Porté Agel, François Gallaire, Giacomo Valerio Iungo, Francesco Viola

Wind tunnel measurements were performed for the wake produced by a three-bladed wind turbine immersed in uniform flow. These tests show the presence of a vorticity structure in the near-wake region mainly oriented along the streamwise direction, which is d ...
