Distributed Control of Large-Scale Wind Farms

Researchers: Daria Madjidian, Maxim Kristalny, Anders Rantzer in collaboration with project partners from Aalborg University, Technion and Vestas Wind Systems.

Funding: LCCC Linnaeus center

WindmillsThis work was initiatied within Aeolus - a European research project funded by the European Commission under FP7. The goal is to get improved effciency and reduced maintainance costs for wind farms using real-time control and coordination of the wind turbines. Several new control paradigms have been developed, incorporating measurements from spatially distributed sensor devices. Acknowledging modelling uncertainty, the wind resource is dynamically managed in order to optimise specific control objectives.
