Lidar-based wake tracking for closed-loop wind farm control

This work presents two advancements towards closed-loop wake redirection of a wind turbine. First, a model-based wake-tracking approach is presented, which uses a nacelle-based lidar system facing downwind to obtain information about the wake. The method uses a reduced-order wake model to track...
