Wakes couple wind turbines within a power plant, and affect power production and loading of downstream machines. Recent efforts from several research groups worldwide are shedding new light on wakes and their behavior. This new insight is crucial not only for a more accurate modeling of wakes, but also for controlling their path and recovery with the final goal of mitigating their effects. In this talk we will review some recent work in this area, with a focus on the interplay between numerical simulations and experiments in explaining some of the complex characteristics of wind turbine wakes. |
