Inter-turbine spacing and flow unsteadiness effects on wake-induced blade dynamics
Francisco J. G. de Oliveira, Adrian T. McGlade, Zahra Sharif Khodaei +1
Wind turbines operating downstream of others in a farm are routinely exposed to waked inflow, with reduced mean velocity and elevated turbulence driving power deficits and addition…
Wind-turbine wake effects on the rate of accumulation of fatigue damage in overhead conductors
Francisco J. G. de Oliveira, Kevin Gouder, Zahra Sharif Khodaei +1
Guidance relating to the safe distance within which overhead conductors (OHCs) should not be built with respect to a wind turbine, and vice versa, varies from country to country. I…
The effect of tip-speed ratio and free-stream turbulence on the coupled wind turbine blade/wake dynamics
Francisco J. G. de Oliveira, Martin Bourhis, Zahra Sharif Khodaei +1
Wind turbines operating within wind farms experience complex aerodynamic loading arising from the interplay between wake-induced velocity deficits, enhanced turbulence, and varying…
