Extension and validation of an operational dynamic wake model to yawed configurations
This work extends the capabilities of an operational dynamic wake model to yawed cases. The proposed framework brings together flow sensing and Lagrangian flow modeling into a unified framework: both the freestream flow field and the wake one are discretized as series of information-carrying particles. A source condition for these particles is thus obtained from the wind turbine measurements through flow sensing techniques. The estimated flow field state across the wind farm is finally reconstructed by propagating these particles downstream at their own characteristic velocity. The resulting framework is first presented and its extension to yawed turbine is then discussed. Comparison against high-fidelity Large Eddy Simulations of yawed wind turbines confirms the good potential of the approach: different yaw angles are considered and the performance of the model are evaluated. This study indicates that the proposed framework captures the relevant large scale wake features caused by the combined effect of yawing and wake meandering at a low computational cost thereby making it suitable for online model-based control.
