ESR 4

The fellow will develop a reduced Wind Farm model capable of reconstructing the flow within a wind farm using limited computational resources. Such a model will be useful for wind farm control purpose. The fellow will also develop technology for the use of the wind turbines as wind sensors, providing wind condition information throughout a wind power plant. Such information will be exploited for improved monitoring of the wind farm. The algorithms will be tested using suitable numerical simulation tools. The fellow will also make use of a scaled experimental facility for simulating wind farms in a boundary layer wind tunnel. Test results will be used to validate the computational tools and to verify the performance of the developed methods.
