Yaw-misalignment and its impact on wind turbine loads and wind farm power output

To make wind energy cost competitive with traditional resources, wind turbines are commonly placed in groups. Aerodynamic interaction between the turbines causes sub-optimal energy production. A control strategy to mitigate these losses is by redirecting the wake by yaw misalignment. This paper aims to assess the influence of load variations of...

A Study on Yaw-Misaligment: Combined Optimization of Wind Farm Power Production and Structural Loading

Climate change gives incentive for the transition to sustainable energy sources such as wind energy. To make wind energy cost competitive with fossil fuel sources, wind turbines are commonly placed in groups. As wind turbines extract energy from the wind, a wake occurs behind the turbine characterized by reduced a wind speed and increased...
