The dynamic coupling between the pulse wake mixing strategy and floating wind turbines

In recent years, control techniques such as dynamic induction control (often referred to as “the pulse”) have shown great potential in increasing wake mixing, with the goal of minimising turbine-to-turbine interaction within a wind farm. Dynamic induction control disturbs the wake by varying the thrust of the turbine over time, which results in...

Using the Helix Mixing Approach on Floating Offshore Wind Turbines

In recent years dynamic induction control has shown great potential in reducing wake-to-turbine interaction by increasing the mixing in the wake. With these wake mixing methods the thrust force will vary in time. If applied to a floating offshore wind turbine, it will cause the platform to move. In this paper the effect of the Helix mixing...
