Abstract
This work presents two advancements towards closed-loop wake redirecting of a wind turbine. First, a model-based wake tracking approach is presented which uses a nacelle-based lidar system facing downwind to obtain information about the wake. The method uses a reduced order wake model to track the wake. The tracking is demonstrated with lidar measurement data from an offshore campaign and with simulated lidar data from a SOWFA simulation. Second, a controller for closed-loop wake steering is presented. It uses the wake tracking information to set the yaw actuator of the wind turbine to redirect the wake to a desired position. Altogether, the two approaches enable a closed-loop wake redirection.Keywords
