Design Analysis of Critical Concepts Influence Wind Farm Production and Efficiency

Abstract

Wind farm deficiency caused by wake turbine interactions has received an important attention by scientific researchers in recent years. However the quality of power production is strongly depends on wind turbines location from others. In this regard, this paper proposes a comprehensive design analysis of crucial concepts that aid to plan for an efficient wind farm design. Indeed, the wake modeling problem is addressed in this analysis by comparing three models with available measured data gotten from literature. A configuration of wind turbines placement within the offshore wind farm as a function of separation distance is investigated in this study considering four wind farms layout. In addition to these elements, four rotor diameters size are evaluated as critical concept for wind turbine selection and production .The results obtained demonstrate that it is complicated to make a balance between three conflicted objectives related to the power production, efficiency and surface land area required for wind farm as a function of these crucial concepts.

Development of a Multiple Wake Model Based on Rapid Recovery Factor in Intense Overlap Case

“…Concerning the impact of the downstream thrust coefficient on the output power [20]- [21], the wake model of Jensen and Gauss model predicts the power produced approximately when the thrust coefficient is low (high wind speed), but that the Frandsen wake model is very sensitive to the variation of the thrust coefficient, it cannot correctly estimate the power.…”
