This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) totaling $256,000 was awarded to Arctura, Inc. to develop a model-free approach to maximizing annual energy production at wind farms through wake steering control of wind turbines. Specifically, the grantee will introduce an extremum seeking control strategy that allows arrays of turbines to work together to minimize power losses by steering the wakes of upstream turbines away from downwind rows. This...
