Feasibility Study of implementing Wake Steering in Floating Wind Farms: Power Gain, Load Estimation and Economic Analysis

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an overview of the CONFLOWS project, a collaborative effort between DNV, Marine Power Systems (MPS) and Durham University. The project investigates the effects of wake steering from aerodynamic, structural and economic modelling perspectives, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of its impact on performance and ...

Wake characteristics of large-scale wind turbines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The next generation of large-scale wind turbines will exceed 10 MW of rated power and will reach rotor diameters of about 200 m. Their rotor aerodynamics are also extreme with Reynolds numbers that reach 40 million.

Field Measurements of Wind Turbine Wakes with Lidars [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2013
AbstractField measurements of the wake flow produced from a 2-MW Enercon E-70 wind turbine were performed using three scanning Doppler wind lidars. A GPS-based technique was used to determine the position of the wind turbine and the wind lidar locations, as well as the direction of the laser beams.

Weibull‐Neural Network Framework for Wind Turbine Lifetime Monitoring and Disturbance Identification

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Wind turbines are vital for sustainable energy, yet their reliability under diverse operational and environmental conditions remains a challenge, often leading to costly failures. This study presents a novel Weibull‐Neural Network Framework to enhance wind turbine lifetime monitoring by estimating reliability (R(t)) and mean residual life (MRL)

Bidirectional wakes over complex terrain using SCADA data and wake models [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy Science
We investigate bidirectional wake effects between two wind turbines of the same type in a hill region in northern Japan using supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data and validate the simulated wakes using 12 wake models. The extent to which

Automated Wind Turbine Wake Characterization in Complex Terrain [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2019
Abstract. An automated wind turbine wake characterization algorithm has been developed and applied to a dataset of over 19,000 scans measured by scanning Doppler lidar at Perdigão over the period January to June 2017. The algorithm correctly identifies the wake centre position in 62 % of possible wake cases, 46 % having a clear and well-defined wake ...

The stability of wakes of floating wind turbines

open access: yesPhysics of Fluids, 2022
Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are subjected to platform motion induced by wind and wave loads. The oscillatory movement trigger vortex instabilities, modifying the wake structure and influencing the flow reaching downstream wind turbines. In this work, the wake of a FOWT is analyzed by means of numerical simulations and a comparison with ...

Improving Power Generation in Rigid‐Wing Groundgen Airborne Wind Energy Systems Using Feedback Control—A Parametric Study

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper explores different reel‐out strategies in a simulated environment to improve the power generation capability of Kitemill's KM1 prototype. The KM1 is a rigid‐wing groundgen airborne wind energy system that flies in circular loops during its power production phase. Firstly, we investigate the impact of flight and ground winch control.
