Diagonal inflow effect on the wake characteristics of a horizontal axis wind turbine with Gaussian model and field measurements

Qing'an Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the diagonal inflow effect on the wake characteristics of a HAWT through field and wind tunnel experiments. It examines the wake characteristics of the HAWT under different pitch angles and wind directions, and predicts the annual power generation of the downstream wind turbine. The research provides a better understanding of wake characteristics and guidance for wind farm layout optimization.

Impact of atmospheric stability, wake effect and topography on power production at complex-terrain wind farm

Franciene Izis Pacheco de Sa Sarmiento et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the combined impact of atmospheric stability, speed-up, and wake effect on the production of wind turbine pairs in a wind farm on complex terrain. It was found that downwind turbines perform better in the early morning, and the errors of speed-up and wake effects models vary at different times of the day.

Simulated potential wind power sensitivity to the planetary boundary layer parameterizations combined with various topography datasets in the weather research and forecasting model

Chunlei Wu et al.

Summary: Wind power simulation is sensitive to PBL schemes in WRF model, with YSU scheme offering consistently good predictions and MYJ scheme providing acceptable outcomes under high-resolution topography. The wind speed shows low sensitivity to PBL schemes, and refined resolution topography datasets can decrease wind power density by 6% over complex terrain, increasing the simulated robustness of potential wind power prediction.

Influence of atmospheric stability on wind farm performance in complex terrain

William Correa Radunz et al.

Summary: Based on observations from modern field experiments in complex terrain sites, wind energy models have been improved to incorporate diurnal cycle unsteadiness and atmospheric stability impact. A recent investigation on two similar wind farms found that the back rows of turbines perform better during stable conditions and nighttime. Designing wind power plants of the future should consider accurately incorporating flow phenomena related to atmospheric stability and the diurnal cycle.

Study on the wind-farm wake under neutral atmospheric condition

Hang Meng et al.

Summary: Wind turbine wake affects power loss and fatigue damage, making it a key parameter in micro-sitting and layout optimization. Recent research shows that large-scale wind farms also produce wakes with significant impact on surrounding wind farms and local meteorology. While there is limited quantitative research on wind farm wake, this study conducts numerical simulations and analyzes the momentum transport to understand the behaviors of wind farm wakes.
