Abstract:Wake models based on Actuator Disk theory are usually applied to optimize the wind farm layouts and improve their overall efficiency and expected AEP. Despite the effectiveness of the existing models, most Actuator Disk approaches are based on the flow axisymmetric assumption, without considering the ground effect on the wake behavior. However, it has been shown that the mast’s height, or distance from the wind turbine to the ground, has an influence on the wake expansion on both hub’s side and at downstream o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
