In this paper we design and analyze a full-information H∞ controller to in order to reduce the wake meandering behind a wind turbine. The low frequency instability that causes wake meandering can cause unsteady mechanical loads on the downstream turbines resulting in early onset of material fatigue. Controlling the wake meandering in a wind farm can therefore reduce maintenance costs. The control...
The objective of this paper is to address the selection of dominant modes of a system that can be used to construct a reduced-order model. This work is motivated by high-fidelity computational models that capture fluid and/or structural dynamics, which are prohibitively complex for real-time control. A variety of techniques for obtaining simplified control-oriented models have been developed, e.g...
Wind turbines in a wind farm operate individually to maximize their own power regardless of the impact of aerodynamic interactions on neighboring turbines. There is the potential to increase power and reduce overall structural loads by properly coordinating turbines. To perform control design and analysis, a model needs to be of low computational cost, but retains the necessary dynamics seen in high-fidelity...

Wind turbines are typically operated to maximize their own performance without considering the impact of wake effects on nearby turbines. There is the potential to increase total power and reduce structural loads by properly coordinating the individual turbines in a wind farm. The effective design and analysis of such coordinated controllers requires turbine wake models of sufficient accuracy but...
