Analysis of Two Onshore Wind Farms with a Dynamic Farm Controller (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ahmad, T., Girard, N., Kazemtabrizi, B., & Matthews, P. (2015, November). Analysis of Two Onshore Wind Farms with a Dynamic Farm Controller. Presented at EWEA 2015, Paris, France

This work develops an assessment methodology for identifying potential areas where coordinated control can increase farm power output. A dynamic farm controller is presented that exploits the benefits of reducing power of the upstream turbines for in...

Onshore Wind Farm Fast Wake Estimation Method: Critical Analysis of the Jensen Model (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sidwell, N., Ahmad, T., & Matthews, P. (2015, November). Onshore Wind Farm Fast Wake Estimation Method: Critical Analysis of the Jensen Model. Presented at EWEA 2015, Paris, France

Wind energy is the most rapidly expanding source of renewable energy in the UK and has supplied 5% of the country’s electricity requirements since 2010. With finite space available for future development, investors and manufacturers are constantly lo...

Dynamic Wind Farm Controller (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ahmad, T., Matthews, P., Kazemtabrizi, B., & Smith, C. (2015, September). Dynamic Wind Farm Controller. Presented at 11th EAWE PhD Seminar on Wind Energy in Europe., Stuttgart, Germany

This work presents a dynamic wind farm controller for maximising power output of a wind farm. The controller uses a coordinated control approach where the output of the upstream turbines is varied to minimise wake effects on the downstream turbines.... Read More about Dynamic Wind Farm Controller.

Determining the Wind Speed Distribution within a Wind Farm considering Site Wind Characteristics and Wake Effects (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ahmad, T., Smith, C., Matthews, P., Crabtree, C., & Kazemtabrizi, B. Determining the Wind Speed Distribution within a Wind Farm considering Site Wind Characteristics and Wake Effects. Presented at 10th PhD Seminar on Wind Energy in Europe, EAWE., Orléans, France

This paper introduces a wind speed model for simulating the distribution of wind speeds within a wind farm. The model combines a macro scale wind speed time series (WSTS) model based on a continuous Markov process with a wake flow model, based on the...
