Kanev, S.K. (author), Bot, E. (author), Giles, J. (author)Active wake control (AWC) is a strategy for operating wind farms in such a way as to reduce the wake effects on the wind turbines, potentially increasing the overall power production. There are two concepts to AWC: induction control and wake redirection. The former strategy boils down to down-regulating the upstream turbines in order to increase...article 2020

Kanev, S.K. (author)This report describes a validation methodology for active wake control (AWC) by wake redirection, a wind farm operation strategy aiming to increase the overall power production of the wind farm. The power gain is achieved by reducing wake effects through intentional yaw misalignment of the rotors of upstream wind turbines to change the path of...report 2020

van der Hoek, D. (author), Kanev, S.K. (author), Allin, J. (author), Bieniek, D. (author), Mittelmeier, N. (author)Recent years have seen an increased interest in literature in Active Wake Control (AWC) strategies, which aim to reduce wake losses in wind farms in order to increase the energy yield and/or decrease loading. This paper presents the results from field tests with one of the AWC strategies, called axial induction control, at a commercial wind farm...article 2019

Reyez-Baez, R. (author), Kanev, S.K. (author)The goal of a wind farm control strategy is twofold first, maximizing the wind farm's power production and, secondly, mitigating the associated mechanical l loads acting on each wind turbine in the farm Such loads are the result of each turbine's gravitational, inertial, and aerodynamical effects, and also due to the interaction with the wind...conference paper 2019

Mendez Reyes, H. (author), Kanev, S.K. (author), Doekemeijer, B. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Wake redirection is an active wake control (AWC) concept that is known to have a high potential for increasing the overall power production of wind farms. Being based on operating the turbines with intentional yaw misalignment to steer wakes away from downstream turbines, this control strategy requires careful attention to the load implications....article 2019

Kanev, S.K. (author), Savenije, F.J. (author), Engels, W.P. (author)The wind turbines within a wind farm impact each other's power production and loads through their wakes. Wake control strategies, aiming to reduce wake effects, receive increasing interest by both the research community and the industry. A number of recent simulation studies with high fidelity wake models indicate that wake mitigation control is...article 2018

van der Hoek, D. (author), Kanev, S.K. (author), Engels, W.P. (author)With the growth of wind energy worldwide, an increased interest in wind farm control has become visible, with Active Power Control (APC) and Active Wake Control (AWC) being two primary examples. Both these methods rely on the down-regulation (i.e., operation using sub-optimal power settings) of wind turbines in order to provide such services....conference paper 2018

Engels, W.P. (author), Kanev, S.K. (author), Marina, A.J. (author), van den Hoek, D.C. (author), Energieonderzoek Centrum Nederland (author)Offshore wind farms are expensive to maintain and it is difficult to achieve a similar availability to onshore farms. This report examines the possible benefit of condition based control, where the controller is adapted to modify the loading of parts depending on their condition. This benefit is only examined in terms of annual electricity...report 2017

Bulder, B.H. (author), Kanev, S.K. (author), Energieonderzoek Centrum Nederland (author)Within the D4REL project the aim is to reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCoE) of an offshore wind turbine by 6.4%. This is realized by looking at the different parts of the wind turbine and analysing those to see where improvements can be done. Four technologies have been developed to reduce the LCoE. These are: <p> WP1:...report 2017

Savenije, F.J. (author), Kanev, S.K. (author), Energieonderzoek Centrum Nederland (author)Active Wake Control (AWC) is a strategy, developed and patented by ECN, for operating wind farms in an economically optimal manner. It makes use of the wake interactions between the wind turbines to maximize the power production of the whole wind farm and/or reduce the loading of the individual wind turbines. The wakes are controlled by either...report 2015

Energieonderzoek Centrum Nederland (author), van Engelen, T.G. (author), Kanev, S.K. (author), Engels, W.P. (author)Wind turbine designs are driven by aerodynamic loads on the structure. If loads are reduced, the dimensions of certain parts and the total cost can be reduced. Individual pitch control (IPC) is known to be effective, but a rotor with distributed blade control (DBC), also known as a smart rotor, can achieve more. With DBC the aerodynamic shape of...conference paper 2010
