A tutorial on control-oriented modeling and control of wind farms [PDF]
2017 American Control Conference (ACC), 2017 Wind turbines are often sited together in wind farms as it is economically advantageous. However, the wake inevitably created by every turbine will lead to a time-varying interaction between the individual turbines. Common practice in industry has been to control turbines individually and ignore this interaction while optimizing the power and loads of ...

An active power control approach for wake-induced load alleviation in a fully developed wind farm boundary layer [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2019 This paper studies a closed-loop wind farm control framework for active power control (APC) with a simultaneous reduction of wake-induced structural loads within a fully developed wind farm flow interacting with the atmospheric boundary layer.

Reinforcement learning for wind-farm flow control: Current state and future actions
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2023 Wind-farm flow control stands at the forefront of grand challenges in wind-energy science. The central issue is that current algorithms are based on simplified models and, thus, fall short of capturing the complex physics of wind farms associated with ...

Expert Elicitation on Wind Farm Control
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020 Abstract Wind farm control is an active and growing field of research in which the control actions of individual turbines in a farm are coordinated, accounting for inter-turbine aerodynamic interaction, to improve the overall performance of the wind farm and to reduce costs.

Model Based Open-Loop Wind Farm Control Using Active Power for Power Increase and Load Reduction
Applied Sciences, 2017 A new wind farm control algorithm that adjusts the power output of the most upstream wind turbine in a wind farm for power increase and load reduction was developed in this study. The algorithm finds power commands to individual wind turbines to maximize

Comparison of wind farm control strategies under realistic offshore wind conditions: turbine quantities of interest [PDF]
Wind Energy ScienceWind farm flow control is a strategy to increase the efficiency and therefore lower the levelized cost of energy of a wind farm. This is done using turbine settings such as the yaw angle, blade pitch angles, or generator torque to manipulate the flow ...

Optimization of constant power control of wind turbines to provide power reserves [PDF]
, 2013 In several countries, the wind power penetration increased tremendously in the last years. As the current wind turbines do not participate in frequency control nor reserve provision, this may compromise the proper functioning of the primary control and ...
