An optimal collaborative control strategy for your wind farm

Context

Traditionally, wind turbines have been individually controlled to face the incoming wind, aiming to maximize their individual power production. However, this strategy is often suboptimal for overall wind farm performance. Wake steering control is a way to mitigate wake effects and optimize production at the wind farm level. It involves intentionally misaligning some or all wind turbines from the incoming wind direction to deflect their wakes, leading to an overall increase in energy production. Developing an effective wake steering control strategy is complex, and requires a deep understanding of wake physics and structural health aspects.

Greenwits Solutions

GreenWITS develops a robust and effective "collaborative" approach based on the wake steering concept. It leverages continuous flow and load identification within the wind farm, enabling the derivation of optimal yaw setpoints while minimizing mechanical loads. This continuous identification is made possible through GreenWITS wind farm Digital Twin solution, providing real-time and precise assessments of flow and load conditions. This capability is crucial for achieving closed-loop control, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
