Wind turbine wakes on escarpments: A wind-tunnel study

Fernando Porté Agel, Arslan Salim Dar

In this study, the wake behind a wind turbine located on an escarpment is investigated using particle-image velocimetry in a wind tunnel. Five different escarpment models are used, which vary in the windward side shape from forward facing steps (FFS) with ...

Large-eddy simulation of a wind-turbine array subjected to active yaw control

Fernando Porté Agel, Mou Lin

This study validates large-eddy simulation (LES) for predicting the flow through a wind turbine array subjected to active yaw control. The wind turbine array consists of three miniature wind turbines operated in both non-yawed and yawed configurations unde ...

An experimental investigation of a roof-mounted horizontal-axis wind turbine in an idealized urban environment

Fernando Porté Agel, Arslan Salim Dar, Guillem Armengol Barcos

Wind-tunnel experiments are performed to investigate the effect of minor modifications to the roof edge shape on the power performance and wake characteristics of a horizontal-axis wind turbine sited on a cube-shaped building. Three roof edge shapes are co ...

Wind-Topo: Downscaling near-surface wind fields to high-resolution topography in highly complex terrain with deep learning

Michael Lehning, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin

Predicting wind flow in highly complex terrain like the Alps is a challenge for all models. When physical processes need to be resolved in a spatially explicit manner, grids with high horizontal resolution of a few hundred meters are often required and dra ...

Wind Farm Area Shape Optimization Using Newly Developed Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms

Fernando Porté Agel, Nicolas Otto Kirchner Bossi

In recent years, wind farm layout optimization (WFLO) has been extendedly developed to address the minimization of turbine wake effects in a wind farm. Considering that increasing the degrees of freedom in the decision space can lead to more efficient solu ...

Experimental investigation and analytical modelling of active yaw control for wind farm power optimization

Fernando Porté Agel, Haohua Zong

In this study, the physics and effectiveness of active yaw control under various wind conditions are investigated systematically, based on wind tunnel experiments and a new analytical wind farm model. The power and wake velocity measurements of a three-row ...
