In this thesis, we explore the best practice of simulating the wakes of the turbines under active yaw control (AYC) using large-eddy simulation (LES). In the first study, we validate the blade-element actuator disk model (ADM-BE) for a yawed wind turbine. ...
In this thesis, we explored the effect of certain terrain-induced flow phenomena on the development of wind turbines sited in complex terrain. A combined experimental and analytical approach is used to study wind turbine wakes in different types of complex ...
The two main effects of a wind turbine wake on those within its region of influence are: first, the wind speed deficit results in a decrease in the power production and second, a more turbulent flow results in higher unsteady structural forces, potentially ...
According to the International Energy Agency, the global net-zero emissions objective requires the installed wind power capacity to increase 11-fold between 2020 and 2050. The scientific community has recently voiced concerns about the logistic feasibility ...
This study validates large-eddy simulation (LES) for predicting the flow through a wind turbine array subjected to active yaw control. The wind turbine array consists of three miniature wind turbines operated in both non-yawed and yawed configurations unde ...
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 ...
In this study, we perform a multi-objective parametric study for an array of three miniature wind turbines subjected to active yaw control (AYC), with the objectives of maximizing the power and minimizing the fatigue loads. Using the time series extracted ...
Dynamic control strategies, such as dynamic induction control [1], were reported as efficient and beneficial in improving wind farm power production. A recent work based on computational fluid dynamics simulation [2] shows that by controlling wake meanderi ...
Yaw angle control is known nowadays as a promising and effective technique to mitigate wake effects in wind farms. In this paper, we perform wind tunnel experiments to study the performance of a model wind farm with five turbine rows under a wide variety o ...
In this thesis, we aim to contribute to the research on two topics, namely, vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and wind turbines on topography.In the VAWT part, first, we implement two actuator-type VAWT parameterization models (i.e. the actuator swept- ...
