Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive study on optimizing wind farm efficiency by controlling wake effects using the WFSim dynamic simulation model. Focusing on five key factors—yaw wind turbine position, yaw angle, wind farm spacing, longitudinal wind turbine spacing, and yaw rate—we qualitatively analyze their individual and combined impact on the wind farm's wake behavior and mechanical load. Through a quantitative approach using the orthogonal test method, we assess each factor's influence on the farm's overall power output. The findings prioritize the following factors in terms of their effect on power output: yaw wind turbine position, yaw angle, wind farm spacing, longitudinal spacing, and yaw rate. Most significantly, this study identifies optimal working conditions for maximizing the wind farm's average power output. These conditions include a wind turbine longitudinal spacing of 7.0D, a wind farm spacing of 15.0D, a yaw angle of 30°, and a yaw rate of 0.0122 rad/s, with the first and second rows of turbines in a yaw state. Under these optimized conditions, the wind farm's average power output is enhanced to 35.19 MW, marking an increase of 2.86 MW compared to the farm's original configuration. Additionally, this paper offers an analysis of wake deflection under these optimal conditions, providing valuable insights for the design and management of more efficient wind farms.
