Supporting data belonging to publication: "Experimental demonstration of regenerative wind farming using a high-density layout of VAWTs"

This dataset is intended to support the findings of the publication "Experimental demonstration of regenerative wind farming using a high-density layout of VAWTs" by Bensason, Mulay (MSc student), Sciacchitano, and Ferreira. The dataset includes 3D-resolved wake data of a wind farm using Particle Tracking Velocimetry in the open-jet wind tunnel facility of the TU Delft (OJF). An array of nine turbines arranged in a 3x3 grid with constant stream wise and lateral distance of 5D and 3.18D was tested, where D = 0.3m is the diameter of the H-Type VAWTs. The inflow, inter farm, and outflow of the farm was measured for three modes of operation, namely, baseline (where no passive pitch was applied to the blades), positive pitch (where blades of all the rotors are pitched inward), and negative pitch (where blades of all the rotors are pitched outward). This research and dataset aim to provide the first experimental 3D-resolved wake measurement of a high-energy density VAWT farm. The results and database will [provide a benchmark for future and ongoing development of numerical models.

本数据集旨在支撑Bensason、Mulay（理学硕士研究生）、Sciacchitano与Ferreira发表的论文《采用高密度垂直轴风力机（Vertical Axis Wind Turbines, VAWTs）布局的再生式风力发电场实验验证》的研究发现。该数据集包含代尔夫特理工大学开放射流风洞设施（Open-Jet Wind Tunnel Facility, OJF）中采用粒子跟踪测速法（Particle Tracking Velocimetry）获取的风电场三维解析尾流数据。测试对象为一组3×3网格排布的9台风力机组，其流向与横向间距分别为5D与3.18D，其中D=0.3m为H型垂直轴风力机的叶轮直径。研究针对三种运行模式分别测量了风场的入流、场内与出流尾流：基准模式（未对叶片施加被动变桨）、正变桨模式（所有转子叶片向内变桨）以及负变桨模式（所有转子叶片向外变桨）。本研究与数据集旨在首次获取高能量密度垂直轴风力机风场的三维解析尾流实验测量数据。该研究结果与数据库将为未来及在研数值模型的开发提供基准参照。
