The Nordic Consortium, Optimization and Control of Wind Farms, was initialized by Professor Dan Henningson and Ass. Professor Stefan Ivanell as a continuation of the PhD work performed by Stefan with Dan as Supervisor.
The main aim is to continue the work on;
- basic reseach on wake stability, i.e. to quantify the mechanims behind the breakdown of the wake structure and therby to be able to estimate wake lengths etc.
- developpment of farm simulation tools to be able to optimize and control large wind farms.
with the following main goals:
- Cost effective utilization of wind power parks
- Increased understanding of wake interaction for improved modeling
- Optimize power generation from each turbine to improve total power
- Optimize lifespan of turbine by minimizing loads from wake interaction
- Educate researchers that can work with wind power in industry and university
The Swedish part of the projekt is financed by the Swedish Energy Agency and VindForsk.
