Aerodynamic interaction among turbines grouped together in wind farms causes a decrease in the total energy extracted from the wind when compared to an equal number of widely dispersed turbines operating under the same wind input conditions as the wind farm.Extremum seeking control (ESC) is one strategy that holds promise for reducing this impact under certain wind input conditions. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of ESC under different turbulence conditions, describing methods for addressing the complexities caused by the turbulent wind input and time-varying delay of the wind between turbines, where these two elements are the most important contributions compared to other wind farm control research. The results show that energy capture can be increased in low turbulence intensity conditions, but perhaps not in high turbulence conditions.
