A wind turbine control method based on Jensen model

In the wind farm with a number of wind turbines, the wake effect is one of the important factors affecting the wind power. To date, many reported work on the optimization of wind farm layout aims at improving wind turbines' wake model, so as to optimally allocate resources. However, the investigation of the thrust coefficient of turbines for the existing wind farm has been rarely reported. Changing the thrust coefficient of wind turbines is essentially to adjust the pitch angle and tip speed ratio of wind turbines. Based on the Jensen wake model, this paper devotes to control the thrust coefficient of the upper turbines, to reduce the influence of wake effect, to improve comprehensive wind turbines output, and to achieve the optimal wind fan power. As shown in our study, adding the proposed control method can further improve power of a wind farm.
