A wind-tunnel investigation of wind-turbine wakes in yawed conditions (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bastankhah, M., & Porté-Agel, F. A wind-tunnel investigation of wind-turbine wakes in yawed conditions. Presented at Wake Conference 2015, Visby, Sweden

Wind-tunnel experiments were performed to study the performance of a model wind turbine and its wake characteristics in a boundary layer under different operating conditions, including different yaw angles and tip speed ratios. High-resolution partic... Read More about A wind-tunnel investigation of wind-turbine wakes in yawed conditions.

A wind-tunnel investigation of wind-turbine wakes in differentyawed and loaded conditions (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bastankhah, M., & Porte-Agel, F. (2015, April). A wind-tunnel investigation of wind-turbine wakes in differentyawed and loaded conditions. Paper presented at European Geosciences Union (EGU), Vienna, Austria

Wind-turbine wakes have negative effects on wind-farm performance. They are associated with: (a) the velocity deficit, which reduces the generated power of downwind turbines; and (b) the turbulence level, which increases the fatigue loads on downwind...
