Large-Eddy Simulation of Yawed Wind-Turbine Wakes: Comparisons with Wind Tunnel Measurements and Analytical Wake Models
In this study, we validated a wind-turbine parameterisation for large-eddy simulation (LES) of yawed wind-turbine wakes. The presented parameterisation is modified from the rotational actuator disk model (ADMR), which takes account of both thrust and tange ...
2019Characterization of Wind Turbine Wakes with Nacelle-Mounted Doppler LiDARs and Model Validation in the Presence of Wind Veer
Fernando Porté Agel, Peter Andreas Brugger, Corey Dean Markfort, Fernando Carbajo Fuertes, Mohsen Vahidzadeh
Accurate prediction of wind turbine wakes is important for more efficient design and operation of wind parks. Volumetric wake measurements of nacelle-mounted Doppler lidars are used to characterize the wake of a full-scale wind turbine and to validate an a ...
2019Incoming Wind and Wake Measurements of a Single 2.5 MW Wind Turbine Using Two Nacelle-Mounted Wind LiDARs for Analytical Wake Model Validation
Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort, Fernando Carbajo Fuertes
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 ...
2018Numerical Experiments of Atmospheric Boundary Layer flows
Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases due to human activity is causing global warming and inducing climate change. A major implication of global warming is the decreasing ice mass in the polar regions resulting in sea-level rise. It is now known that ...
EPFL2018Wind Turbine Wake Characterization with Nacelle-Mounted Wind Lidars for Analytical Wake Model Validation
Fernando Porté Agel, Corey Dean Markfort, Fernando Carbajo Fuertes
This study presents the setup, methodology and results from a measurement campaign dedicated to the characterization of full-scale wind turbine wakes under different inflow conditions. The measurements have been obtained from two pulsed scanning Doppler li ...
2018Analysis of control-oriented wake modeling tools using lidar field results
The objective of this paper is to compare field data from a scanning lidar mounted on a turbine to control-oriented wind turbine wake models. The measurements were taken from the turbine nacelle looking downstream at the turbine wake. This field campaign w ...
2018Interaction of atmospheric boundary layer flow with wind turbines
As wind turbines operate within the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), the study of their interaction with the ABL flow can help us better understand and predict their performance. In addition to the performance of wind turbines, this interaction has an eff ...
EPFL2017Volumetric LiDAR scanning of a wind turbine wake and comparison with a 3D analytical wake model
Fernando Porté Agel, Fernando Carbajo Fuertes
A correct estimation of the future power production is of capital importance whenever the feasibility of a future wind farm is being studied. This power estimation relies mostly on three aspects: (1) a reliable measurement of the wind resource in the area, ...

2016Experimental and theoretical study of wind turbine wakes in yawed conditions
Fernando Porté Agel, Majid Bastankhah
This work is dedicated to systematically studying and predicting the wake characteristics of a yawed wind turbine immersed in a turbulent boundary layer. To achieve this goal, wind tunnel experiments were performed to characterize the wake of a horizontal- ...
