Estimating the wake deflection downstream of a wind turbine in different atmospheric stabilities: an LES study

An intentional yaw misalignment of wind turbines is currently discussed as one possibility to increase the overall energy yield of wind farms. The idea behind this control is to decrease wake losses of downstream turbines by altering the wake trajectory of the controlled upwind turbines. For an...
