ECN holds a patent called ‘Controlling Wind’aiming at misaligning the upwind turbine in a row such that leeward turbines experience a higher wind and hence an increased power production. This concept was tested in ECN’s scaled wind farm; to our knowledge for the first time on such a scale and in field conditions.
The farm consists of 10 turbines divided over the park in three lines of 2, 3 and 4 turbines and one single turbine. Furthermore, meteorological masts are scattered throughout the farm. The layout of the farm makes it possible to simultaneously measure free wind conditions, single and/or multiple wake conditions at various spacing.
