A multi-stage methodology for wind park inter-array cabling: graph preparation, routing, and sizing

Abstract. Inter-array grid optimisation plays a critical role in the technical and economic performance of wind parks and is typically divided into two primary tasks: layout length minimisation and conductor size selection. This work proposes the consideration of three primary ta...

Multi-strategy wind farm control: alternating wake steering and helix wake mixing on a large-scale wind farm

Abstract. Wind farm flow control mitigates wake effects by adjusting turbine settings to improve overall farm performance rather than the output of each turbine. Wake steering is an established wind farm flow control approach, while the helix method has recently emerged as a prom...
