DOE/SNL-TTU Scaled Wind Farm Technology Facility: Research Opportunities for Study of Turbine-Turbine Interaction
نویسنده
چکیده
The proposed DOE/Sandia Scaled Wind Farm Technology Facility (SWiFT) hosted by Texas Tech University at Reese Technology Center in Lubbock, TX, will provide a facility for experimental study of turbine-turbine interaction and complex wind farm aerodynamics. This document surveys the current status of wind turbine wake and turbine-turbine interaction research, identifying knowledge and data gaps that the proposed test site can potentially fill. A number of turbine layouts is proposed, allowing for up to ten turbines at the site.

A Lattice Boltzmann Method for Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Simulation
Operating horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) generate large-scale wake structures that can have considerable impact on downwind turbines. A HAWT exposed to vortices from upwind turbines generally produces reduced power and experiences increased structural vibrations that cause disproportionally accelerated material fatigue. Numerical simulation of the turbulent flow field is a viable approach...
متن کاملEffect of Different Turbine-generator Shaft Models on the Subsynchronous Resonance Phenomenon in the Double Cage Induction Generator Based Wind Farm
This paper focuses on the turbine-generator shaft models of double-cage Induction Generator (IG) based wind farm and its influence on the sub-synchronous resonance phenomenon. For this purpose, six different shaft models as 6-mass, 4-mass, 3-mass I, 3-mass II, 2-mass and 1-mass models are considered for double-cage IG wind-turbine. By using the linear modal analysis method, the effects of the d...
متن کاملA New Method to Study Aggregation Effect of Harmonic Current Emissions in a Wind Farm Based on Type-III Wind Turbine Average Modeling
Assessment of complex harmonic current contribution of each wind turbines at connection point of a wind farm to the grid (primary emission) is presented in this paper. Moreover, contribution of grid background harmonic voltage distortion on harmonic current distortion (secondary emission) of each turbine is also evaluated. Both assessments are represented based on primary and secondary transfer...
متن کاملA semi-analytical model for velocity profile at wind turbine wake using blade element momentum
The shape of wake behind a wind turbine is normally assumed to have a hat shape for the models used in wind farm layout optimization purposes; however, it is know from experimental tests and numerical simulations that this is not a real assumption. In reality, the results of actual measurements and detailed numerical simulation show that the velocity in wake region has a S-shape profile. The pr...
