Development of new control algorithms that treat the entire wind plant as a holistic controls optimization problem. To optimize energy capture for individual assets with the wind turbine-centric controls. To develop a better understanding of the wind flow resource, and its dynamics between wind turbines.
To evaluate how the novel control algorithms impact the reliability of the wind farm optimizing the operation and maintenance costs, hence easing the deployment of renewable wind energy within the energy mix and accelerating its roll-out. To evaluate the total economic worth of the new wind farm control algorithms maximizing the potential payoffs coming from the new technology and contributing to the European Security of Supply.
To evaluate the overall value chain of the new control strategy through a Life Cycle Assessment, including supplies, production, distribution, use and disposal as well as all intervening transportation steps necessary or caused by the equipment’s existence. This is especially relevant in case of modifications of existing wind farms.
Creation of green business opportunities and jobs, fostering the European competitiveness and increasing the public acceptance of wind energy. To improve design norms affecting the loads and power performance of individual wind turbines by integrating new designs of the wind farm and the individual wind turbines.
The idea of wind turbine control as a preliminary step for wind farm control developed is treated in this deliverable. The new technologies required at farm level need to be analyzed from the fatigue loading optimization viewpoint and demand to go beyond usual modes of......
The third deliverable presents the development of a software toolbox for the pre- and post-processing of wind farm simulations. This new structure developed allows storing all wind turbine/farm specific information as well as simulation specific information for tools of different fidelity. In the same way,......
The European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) is taking place at Vienna the 20th and 21st of November. With the aim to accelerate delivering EU 2030 and 2050 target, the conference will be analyzing how Research and Innovation will help achieving these objectives. The conference......
CL-Windcon will be present in the H2020 poster session The 10th Frame Program of Investigation and Innovation of the European Union in Spain will be held next November 20th at Toledo. The objective of this conference is to analyze Spain participation at H2020 with the aim......
