6 FAQs about [Boundary design of wind farm with wind turbine]

What are boundary turbines in a wind farm?

The boundary turbines are spaced around the circumference of the wind farm and are defined with one design variable. The rest of the turbines in the farm make up the inner grid, which is defined with four design variables for a total of five variables to describe the location of every turbine in the farm.

How do wind farms interact with the atmospheric boundary layer?

accurate representation of the interaction of the wind farms with the atmospheric boundary layer. of the flow, i.e. the relationship between the resulting roughness and, e.g. the hub-height zh. As can be seen in Fig. 2, the wakes meander back and forth before interacting with the next wind turbine row.

How do you calculate the boundary of a wind farm?

The boundary of the wind farm can be approximated by computing the convex hull containing all of the wind turbines in the farm. Given a set of points in 2D, the convex hull of the set is the smallest convex polygon that contains all the points. Fig. 5 shows the set of points (black) and its convex hull (blue).

Does a wind turbine wake in the atmospheric boundary layer?

How do boundary turbines work?

The boundary turbines are placed on the wind farm boundary, spaced equally traversing the perimeter. These are defined by one variable, s, which is the distance along the perimeter where the first turbine, or start turbine, is placed. This in turn defines the position of every turbine around the boundary (Fig. 3 c).

How are wind turbines arranged in a wind farm?

When the locations of wind turbines in a farm are optimized directly, the final layout often follows two general rules. First, a large fraction of turbines are grouped on or near the wind farm boundary. Second, the turbines that are not positioned on the boundary are loosely arranged in rows throughout the farm (Fig. 3 a).
