Active wake control validation methodology
other
Active Wake Control (AWC) has reached the point of industrial application in offshore wind farms. Yawing the upstream turbines to deflect the wake is the method currently being focussed upon. The optimized yaw settings will naturally differ depending on the wind farm, as the wind conditions and farm layout vary. The increase in the annual yield is expected to reach 1%, although variations may exist depending on the farm. Active Wake Control design and implementation, a farm dependent feature, needs to be validated with an independent method so that key stakeholders have confidence in implementing the control solution and clarity on the business case.
