Wind energy, together with other renewable energy sources, are expected to grow
substantially in the coming decades and play a key role in mitigating climate change and …

Wake effects within a wind farm are identified as one of the main factors impacting wind farm
power production and fatigue loading on wind turbines' structural elements. An efficient …

This work is dedicated to systematically studying and predicting the wake characteristics of a
yawed wind turbine immersed in a turbulent boundary layer. To achieve this goal, wind …

The development of the near wake of a vertical axis wind turbine is investigated by
stereoscopic particle image velocimetry. The experiments are conducted in an open-jet wind …

Through deflecting the wind turbine wake and reducing the influence of wake effect, wind
farm cooperative control can enhance the total power generation of wind farm. In addition to …

Predicting the spatial evolution of horizontal-axis turbine wakes is a key factor to enhance
the performance of wind and hydrokinetic power plants. The yaw angle misalignment is not …

In the present study the wake flow past an isolated propeller operating in oblique flow
conditions is investigated experimentally. In particular, the investigation concerns a …

Blade element momentum (BEM) theory is widely used in aerodynamic performance
predictions and design applications for wind turbines. However, the classic BEM method is …

Rotational effects are known to influence severely the aerodynamic performance of the
inboard region of rotor blades. The underlying physical mechanisms are however far from …

Horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) often works under yaw due to the stochastic variation of
wind direction. Yaw also can be used as one of control methods for load reduction and wake …
