Radar Based Wake Optimization of Offshore Wind Farms
Awardee:
GE Research
Started:
Q2,2021
Technical Challenge Area:
O&M and Safety
Completed:
Q3,2023
Synopsis:
GE Research will develop wake characteristic algorithms based on radar measurement input data and perform a detailed design of a system architecture for park-wide radar-based wake steering.
Target Outcomes:
1
This project will significantly reduce this uncertainty of existing wake control solutions by introducing embedded radar systems that directly measure the wake properties and developing new algorithms to continuously adapt wake models and optimize the wake steering.
