Experimental investigation and analytical modelling of active yaw control for wind farm power optimization

In this study, the physics and effectiveness of active yaw control under various wind conditions are investigated systematically, based on wind tunnel experiments and a new analytical wind farm model. The power and wake velocity measurements of a three-row ...

A point vortex transportation model for yawed wind turbine wakes

Fernando Porté Agel, Haohua Zong

In this study, stereo particle imaging velocimetry measurements are performed at multiple streamwise locations behind a yawed wind turbine to reveal the formation mechanisms of the counter-rotating vortex pair (CVP), and a point vortex transportation (PVT) ...

Lidar measurements of yawed-wind-turbine wakes: characterization and validation of analytical models

Fernando Porté Agel, Peter Andreas Brugger, Haohua Zong

Wake measurements of a scanning Doppler lidar mounted on the nacelle of a full-scale wind turbine during a wake-steering experiment were used for the characterization of the wake flow, the evaluation of the wake-steering set-up, and the validation of analy ...

A momentum-conserving wake superposition method for wind farm power prediction

Fernando Porté Agel, Haohua Zong

Analytical wind turbine wake models and wake superposition methods are prevailing tools widely adopted by the wind energy community to predict the power production of wind farms. However, none of the existing wake superposition methods conserve the streamw ...
