Wind Farms - A New Approach to Wind Power Control

This paper describes a significant step forward for wind power, says Charles Amunavu. The fact that this was demonstrated in an operating wind farm is important to facilitate subsequent implementation and scale up of the proposed approach. It shows that smartly implemented yaw control strategies using state-of-the-art physics-based wake models supplemented with data-driven approaches can increase power output in wind farms.
