(TU Delft Team Riccardo Ferrari) Matthijs Doekemeijer, Bart (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (TU Delft Team Riccardo Ferrari) van Wingerden, J.W. (TU Delft Team Jan-Willem van Wingerden) Date 2022 Abstract This paper presents a closed-loop controller for wind farms to provide active power control services using a high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics based wind plant simulator. The proposed design enhances power tracking stability and allows for simple understanding, where each turbine is considered as a pure time-delay system. The paper investigates the control performance with different nominal power distributions in a fully waked condition and limited power availability. Results demonstrate the improvement in power production obtained by closing the control loop, compared to greedy operation. Additionally, power tracking capabilities are enhanced with a nominal power distribution favored by axial-induction, as well as the occurrence of turbine saturation and the distribution of loads.
