Abstract
Provided is a method of determining a control setting of at least one wind turbine of a wind park, the method including: determining a free-stream wind turbulence and deriving the control setting based on the free-stream wind turbulence, wherein the control setting includes a yawing offset, and wherein the yawing offset is derived to be the smaller, the higher the free-stream wind turbulence is.
Claims17
A method of determining a control setting of at least one wind turbine of a wind park, the method comprising:
- determining a free-stream wind turbulence;
- and
- deriving the control setting based on the free-stream wind turbulence,
- wherein the control setting includes a yawing offset, wherein the yawing offset is derived to decrease as the free-stream wind turbulence increases.
An arrangement for determining a control setting of at least one wind turbine of a wind park, the arrangement comprising a processor including hardware and adapted to:
- determine a free-stream wind turbulence;
- and
- derive the control setting based on the free-stream wind turbulence.
A wind park, comprising:
- plural wind turbines;
- and
- an arrangement for determining a control setting of at least one wind turbine of the plural wind turbines, the arrangement comprising a processor including hardware and adapted to determine a free-stream wind turbulence and derive the control setting based on the free-stream wind turbulence wherein the arrangement is communicatively connected to the plural wind turbines to supply a respective control setting to each wind turbine of the plural wind turbines;
- wherein the control setting includes a yawing offset, wherein the yawing offset is derived to decrease as the free-stream wind turbulence increases.
