Wake steering of multirotor wind turbines (2021)
Journal Article
Speakman, G. A., Abkar, M., Martínez‐Tossas, L. A., & Bastankhah, M. (2021). Wake steering of multirotor wind turbines. Wind Energy, 24(11), 1294-1314. https://doi.org/10.1002/we.2633

In this paper, wake steering is applied to multirotor turbines to determine whether it has the potential to reduce wind plant wake losses. Through application of rotor yaw to multirotor turbines, a new degree of freedom is introduced to wind farm con... Read More about Wake steering of multirotor wind turbines.

Analytical solution for the cumulative wake of wind turbines in wind farms (2021)
Journal Article
Bastankhah, M., Welch, B. L., Martínez-Tossas, L. A., King, J., & Fleming, P. (2021). Analytical solution for the cumulative wake of wind turbines in wind farms. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 911, Article A53. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2020.1037

This paper solves an approximate form of conservation of mass and momentum for a turbine in a wind farm array. The solution is a fairly simple explicit relationship that predicts the streamwise velocity distribution within a wind farm with an arbitra...

Wind-Turbine and Wind-Farm Flows: A Review (2019)
Journal Article
Porte-Agel, F., Bastankhah, M., & Shamsoddin, S. (2020). Wind-Turbine and Wind-Farm Flows: A Review. Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 174, 1-59. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10546-019-00473-0

Wind energy, together with other renewable energy sources, are expected to grow substantially in the coming decades and play a key role in mitigating climate change and achieving energy sustainability. One of the main challenges in optimizing the des... Read More about Wind-Turbine and Wind-Farm Flows: A Review.

Wind farm power optimization via yaw angle control: A wind tunnel study (2019)
Journal Article
Bastankhah, M., & Porté-Agel, F. (2019). Wind farm power optimization via yaw angle control: A wind tunnel study. Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, 11(2), Article 023301. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5077038

Yaw angle control is known nowadays as a promising and effective technique to mitigate wake effects in wind farms. In this paper, we perform wind tunnel experiments to study the performance of a model wind farm with five turbine rows under a wide var...
