Wind farm wake steering system for optimizing power generation
A computer-implemented method for wake steering of wind turbines in a wind farm has been detailed in a filed patent (Publication Number: US20240035446A1). The method involves automatically sensing wind aspects, generating recommended yaw control using a model analyzing operational state and health of turbines, and controlling the wind farm for wake steering. The model dynamically balances power generation efficiency and operational health based on wind sensing and turbine state, considering factors like yaw steering and turbine performance.
Furthermore, the patent describes a turbine management system with a communication interface receiving wind-related data and a wake steering system generating recommended yaw control for turbines to enhance power generation. The system's model analyzes factors independent of yaw steering, like turbine performance and waking, along with factors dependent on yaw steering, such as yaw angle changes and steering frequency. This approach aims to optimize power output while maintaining operational health, showcasing a comprehensive method for efficient wind farm management through wake steering technology.
