Arrays of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) can achieve larger power generation per land area than horizontal axis turbines farms, due to the positive synergy between VATs in close proximity. Theoretical wake models enable the reliable…
Wind turbine wakes are the result of the extraction of kinetic energy from the incoming atmospheric wind exerted from a wind turbine rotor. Therefore, the reduced mean velocity and enhanced turbulence intensity within the wake are affected…

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…
Improving the power output from wind farms is vital in transitioning to renewable electricity generation. However, in wind farms, wind turbines often operate in the wake of other turbines, leading to a reduction in the wind speed and the…

In large eddy simulation of atmospheric boundary layer flows over wind farms, wall-layer models are generally imposed for the surface fluxes without considering the spatial variability of the surface roughness. In this study, we consider…
Active yaw control (AYC) of wind turbines has been widely applied to increase the annual energy production (AEP) of a wind farm. AYC efficiency depends on the wind direction and the wind farm layout because an AYC method utilizes wake…
