New control strategy helps reap maximum power from wind farms

New control strategy helps reap maximum power from wind farms Researchers have developed a way to extract more power from the wind. The researchers used supercomputers at the Texas Advanced Computing Center to filter out the effects of turbulence and apply control algorithms that can better manage the operation of wind farms. The approach has the potential to increase wind power generation by 6-7 percent with a estimated increase in revenue of more than $600 million nationwide. https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
