An optimal control framework for dynamic induction control of wind farms and their interaction with the atmospheric boundary layer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complex turbine wake interactions play an important role in overall energy extraction in large wind farms. Current control strategies optimize individual turbine power, and lead to significant energy losses in wind farms compared with lone-standing wind turbines. In recent work, an optimal coordinated control framework was introduced (Goit & Meyers 2015 J. Fluid Mech.768, 5-50 (doi:10.1017/jfm.2015.70)). Here, we further elaborate on this framework, quantify the influence of optimization parameters and introduce new simulation results for which gains in power production of up to 21% are observed.This article is part of the themed issue 'Wind energy in complex terrains'.

Power grids are complex, interconnected and nonlinear systems, and this will be more severe when they are subjected to high wind resources penetration. Static synchronous compensators (STATCOM) are used to improve voltage regulation and to meet grid codes in power systems, including doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) based wind farms. Despite the nonlinear nature of STATCOM, the conventiona...
