The unsteady flow physics of wind-turbine wakes under dynamic forcing conditions are critical to the modeling and control of wind farms for optimal power density. Unsteady forcing in the streamwise direction may be generated by unsteady…
Wind energy has emerged as a viable alternative to fossil fuels, with vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) gaining popularity due to their efficiency and adaptability. Combining the Actuator Line Method (ALM) with Large Eddy Simulation (LES)…
The proper orthogonal decomposition has been applied on a full-scale horizontal-axis wind turbine to shed light on the wake characteristics behind the wind turbine. In reality, the blade tip experiences high deflections even at the rated…
Because of the global need to increase power production from renewable energy resources, developments in the online monitoring of the associated infrastructure is of interest to reduce operation and maintenance costs. However, challenges…
Understanding how wakes interact with wind turbine blades under varying operating and inflow conditions is essential for improving fatigue prediction and performance assessment in increasingly dense wind farms. We present an experimental…
Wind turbine's wake, being convectively unstable, may behave as an amplifier of upstream perturbations and make the downstream turbine experience strong inflow fluctuations. In this work, we investigate the effects of the side-to-side…
In this study, we present an improved formulation for the wake-added turbulence to enhance the accuracy of intra-farm and farm-to-farm wake modeling through analytical frameworks. Our goal is to address the tendency of a commonly used…
We introduce a gradient-free data-driven framework for optimizing the power output of a wind farm based on a Bayesian approach and large-eddy simulations. In contrast with conventional wind farm layout optimization strategies, which make…
To provide automatic generation control (AGC) service, wind farms (WFs) are required to control their operation dynamically to track the time-varying power reference. Wake effects impose significant aerodynamic interactions among turbines,…
Traditional wind farm control operates each turbine independently to maximize individual power output. However, coordinated wake steering across the entire farm can substantially increase the combined wind farm energy production. Although…
This study explored the aerodynamics of a new multi-stage co-axial vertical-axis wind turbine based on bio-inspiration from natural swimming habit of fish. The turbine was formed from a conventional straight-bladed vertical-axis turbine…
Turbine wake and local blockage effects are known to alter wind farm power production in two different ways: (1) by changing the wind speed locally in front of each turbine; and (2) by changing the overall flow resistance in the farm and…
Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are used to study the effects of veer (the height-dependent lateral deflection of wind velocity due to Coriolis acceleration) on the evolution of wind turbine wakes. Specifically, this work focuses on turbines…
Active power control regulates the total power generated by wind farms with the power consumed on the electricity grid. Due to wake effects, the available power is reduced and turbulence is increased at downstream wind turbines. Such…
Dynamic induction control is a wind farm flow control strategy that utilises wind turbine thrust variations to accelerate breakdown of the aerodynamic wake and improve downstream turbine performance. However, when floating wind turbines are…
Wind farm wake steering optimization is challenging due to complex flow physics and changing conditions. This paper presents a hierarchical framework that combines reinforcement learning with model predictive control, where an RL agent…
We apply the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to large eddy simulation data of a wind turbine wake in a turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. The turbine is modeled as an actuator disk. Our analyis mainly focuses on the question…
The wake of a model wind turbine exposed to incoming freestream turbulence (FST) with a variety of turbulent characteristics is studied through Particle Image Velocimetry experiments. The FST cases were produced using different passive…
Cross-flow turbine (known as vertical-axis wind turbines or ``VAWTs'' in wind) blades encounter a relatively undisturbed inflow for the first half of each rotational cycle (``upstream sweep'') and then pass through their own wake for the…
Real-time altitude control of airborne wind energy (AWE) systems can improve performance by allowing turbines to track favorable wind speeds across a range of operating altitudes. The current work explores the performance implications of…
