September 25th – DAY 2

>> IEA Topical Expert Meeting: Workshop on wind farm control.

BACKGROUND

Wind farm control is an active and growing field of research in which the control actions of individual turbines at a farm are coordinated, accounting for inter-turbine aerodynamic interaction, to improve the overall performance of the wind farm. Performance goals can include power production, turbine load reduction and grid support services. In this TEM we seek to overview the state of the art of this field, identify consensus research findings, data sets and best practices, overview current research challenges, and establish a road map on how to address these challenges.

OBJECTIVES

State of the industry – Current capabilities in wind farm control
State of the research – Overview of research findings including theoretical results, overview of models and capabilities, and results of analysis from high-fidelity computer simulations, wind tunnel studies and field trials.
Consensus research findings and best practices – Establish where there is consensus and where there are open questions in the research. Establish preferred nomenclature and best practices for conducting new research
Identification of research needs – Based on existing research and desired end goals, identify where research is needed
Road map – Establish plan for researching and implementing wind farm controls as industry standard practice

TENTATIVE PROGRAM

A few overview presentations will be followed by discrete break-out sessions to address the above points. A final full group session will collect the main points and identify follow-up responsibilities.
