Abstract

Yaw misalignment can make a wake steer, which is an effective method to increase the power of wind farms but it also increases the fatigue load of the turbines. In this paper, the combination of yaw offset and pitch control (CYMP) is studied to analyse the potential mitigation of wake, focusing on the wind velocity and turbulence of the wake distribution, power increment, and fatigue load reduction. The simulation case study shows that the method of CYMP can reduce the fatigue load by 10.29% and increase the total power by 1.7% compared with only wake steering in FAST.Fram. The Collaborative MPC (CoMPC) method based on CYMP is proposed to the real-time wake control in this research, which can increase power by more than 2% and reduce thrust by more than 4% than greedy control under 10 m/s turbulent wind.
