Researchers Improve Wind Farm Efficiency Through “Collaborative Turbines” with Wake Steering Technology

published 2021 年 07 月 15 日 9:30
In order to minimize the wind turbine’s wake effect and thereby raise the power generating efficiency of wind farms, some scientists have turned their sights towards controlling the angle of upstream turbines, to hopefully transform wind turbines into a mature industry. These scientists invented a system that can intelligently adjust the turbines’ yaw angle and pitch angle such that downstream turbines are not adversely affected by wake effects. ...  more
