The dynamic induction control wake mixing strategy has the potential to increase the energy yield of floating wind farms. These floating turbines will be subjected to surface waves, caused by the wind, and swell. When dynamic induction control is applied in open-loop, the effect ...
Wake mixing techniques like the Helix have shown to be effective at reducing the wake interaction between turbines, which improves wind farm power production. When these techniques are applied to a floating turbine it will excite movement. The type and magnitude of movement are d ...

Wake Mixing Control For Floating Wind Farms

Analysis of the Implementation of the Helix Wake Mixing Strategy on the IEA 15-MW Floating Wind Turbine

Achieving the European Union's target of 510 GW of installed wind energy capacity by 2030 requires a significant expansion of the currently installed capacity of 255 GW [1], [2]. As a consequence of these ambitions, the power density of newly developed wind farms is rising by inc ...
Dynamic induction control is a wind farm flow control strategy that utilises wind turbine thrust variations to accelerate breakdown of the aerodynamic wake and improve downstream turbine performance. However, when floating wind turbines are considered, additional dynamics and cha ...
In recent years, control techniques such as dynamic induction control (often referred to as “the pulse”) have shown great potential in increasing wake mixing, with the goal of minimising turbine-to-turbine interaction within a wind farm. Dynamic induction control disturbs the wak ...
In recent years dynamic induction control has shown great potential in reducing wake-to-turbine interaction by increasing the mixing in the wake. With these wake mixing methods the thrust force will vary in time. If applied to a floating offshore wind turbine, it will cause the p ...
Lateral control in the absence of lane markings is an essential safety fallback for an autonomous vehicle in cooperative driving applications. Point following control is one such solutions for lateral control. However, it suffers from corner cutting and severe disturbance amplifi ...
