A Calibration Procedure for an Analytical Wake Model Using Wind Farm Operational Data

Energies, 2020
Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable energy sources in the U.S. Wind turbine wakes change the flow field within wind farms and reduce power generation. Prior research has used experimental and computational methods to investigate and model

Modeling, Validation, and Control of the IEA‐15 MW Reference Wind Turbine and VolturnUS‐S Platform

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the acausal modeling, validation, and control of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). The model simulates the IEA‐15 MW reference turbine and the semi‐submersible VolturnUS‐S platform utilizing a Control‐oriented, Reconfigurable, and Acausal Floating Turbine Simulator (CRAFTS), which integrates the key coupled aero ...

Turbulence-resolving simulations of wind turbine wakes

, 2018
Turbulence-resolving simulations of wind turbine wakes are presented using a high--order flow solver combined with both a standard and a novel dynamic implicit spectral vanishing viscosity (iSVV and dynamic iSVV) model to account for subgrid-scale (SGS ...

An Engineering Model for Static Yawed Wind Turbines Based on Actuator Line Simulations and Symbolic Regression

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Yaw engineering models are commonly used as add‐ons to the industrial blade element momentum (BEM) framework to improve load and power predictions by accounting for the skewed wake effect. However, existing yaw engineering models show noticeable limitations in accurately predicting the induced velocity distribution across the blade span.

Wind Turbine Model Validation Is Improved by High‐Resolution, Measurement‐Derived Inflows

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT There is an increased need for accurate validation of turbine models used by original equipment manufacturers to fine‐tune prototypes and predict power performance and maintenance needs while avoiding costly warranty payouts. Perhaps the most substantial source of uncertainty in typical wind turbine model validation procedures is the use of ...
