Control-oriented model for secondary effects of wake steering [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2021 This paper presents a model to incorporate the secondary effects of wake steering in large arrays of turbines. Previous models have focused on the aerodynamic interaction of wake steering between two turbines. The model proposed in this paper builds on

Wake steering of multirotor wind turbines [PDF]
Wind Energy, 2021 In this paper, wake steering is applied to multirotor turbines to determine whether it has the potential to reduce wind plant wake losses. Through application of rotor yaw to multirotor turbines, a new degree of freedom is introduced to wind farm control

Results from a wake-steering experiment at a commercial wind plant: investigating the wind speed dependence of wake-steering performance [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2021 Wake steering is a wind farm control strategy in which upstream wind turbines are misaligned with the wind to redirect their wakes away from downstream turbines, thereby increasing the net wind plant power production and reducing fatigue loads generated ...

Multifidelity multiobjective optimization for wake-steering strategies [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2022 Wake steering is an emerging wind power plant control strategy where upstream turbines are intentionally yawed out of perpendicular alignment with the incoming wind, thereby “steering” wakes away from downstream turbines.

Design and analysis of a wake steering controller with wind direction variability [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2020 Wind farm control strategies are being developed to mitigate wake losses in wind farms, increasing energy production. Wake steering is a type of wind farm control in which a wind turbine's yaw position is misaligned from the wind direction, causing its ...
