Abstract

In this paper, we review updates made to the FLORIS (FLOw Redirection and Induction in Steady State) open-source framework for wind farm control modeling, design and analysis. The updates are focused on improvements for large arrays of turbines - including heterogenous inflows and incorporating second-order wake steering effects - design, and analysis tools for practical application of wind farm control, and improvements to the software architecture for best practices in modularization and cooperative development.

Highlights

  • FLORIS [1] (FLOw Redirection and Induction in Steady State) is an open-source framework, developed originally by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and TU Delft, which includes both control-oriented wake models as well as tools used for the design and analysis of wind farm control strategies

  • FLORIS was first developed to provide a model of wake control methods, such as axial control, and especially wake steering [2]

Summary

Introduction

FLORIS [1] (FLOw Redirection and Induction in Steady State) is an open-source framework, developed originally by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and TU Delft, which includes both control-oriented wake models as well as tools used for the design and analysis of wind farm control strategies. A number of important improvements and advances to FLORIS have been incorporated. These improvements cover a range of areas within FLORIS and are typically the subject of separate individual journal papers. We holistically cover these updates and how they cooperatively work together to improve wind farm control modeling, design, and analysis
