Data belonging to the publication: Comparison of helix and wake steering control for varying turbine spacing and wind direction

This repository contains the LES input files, postprocessing code and processed data/figures belonging to the publication "Comparison of helix and wake steering control for varying turbine spacing and wind direction" by E. Taschner, M. Becker, R. Verzijlbergh and J.W. van Wingerden (2024). In this work, large-eddy simulations (LES) of a two-turbine wind farm are performed, where the upstream turbine employs baseline greedy, helix or wake steering control. The objective of the study is to compare the helix and wake steering wind farm flow control strategies across a wide range of wind turbine spacings and wind directions, where the latter determines the degree of wake overlap at the downstream turbine. The result is a map in the spacing/wind direction space, which indicates the control strategy delivering the largest power gain for a given operating condition.

本仓库收录了E. Taschner、M. Becker、R. Verzijlbergh及J.W. van Wingerden于2024年发表的论文《不同风电机组间距与风向条件下螺旋转向与尾流转向控制的对比研究》配套的大涡模拟（Large-Eddy Simulation, LES）输入文件、后处理代码，以及经处理后的数据与图表。本研究针对双风电机组风电场开展大涡模拟，上游风电机组采用基准贪婪控制、螺旋转向控制或尾流转向控制。本研究的核心目标是在大范围的风电机组间距与风向参数区间内，对比螺旋转向与尾流转向两类风电场流动控制策略；其中风向参数决定了下游风电机组处的尾流重叠程度。本研究最终得到一张间距-风向参数空间分布图，该图可指明在特定运行工况下，能够实现最大功率增益的控制策略。
