• Blind test comparison of the performance and wake flow between two in-line wind turbines exposed to different turbulent inflow conditions 

      Bartl, Jan Michael Simon; Sætran, Lars Roar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      This is a summary of the results of the fourth blind test workshop that was held in Trondheim in October 2015. Herein, computational predictions on the performance of two in-line model wind turbines as well as the mean and ...
    • Blind test comparison on the wake behind a yawed wind turbine 

      Mühle, Franz Volker; Schottler, Jannik; Bartl, Jan Michael Simon; Futrzynski, Romain; Evans, Steve; Bernini, Luca; Schito, Paolo; Draper, Martín; Guggeri, Andrés; Kleusberg, Elektra; Henningson, Dan S.; Hölling, Michael; Peinke, Joachim; Adaramola, Muyiwa S.; Sætran, Lars Roar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      This article summarizes the results of the “Blind test 5” workshop, which was held in Visby, Sweden, in May 2017. This study compares the numerical predictions of the wake flow behind a model wind turbine operated in yaw ...
    • Comparing abnormalities in onshore and offshore vertical wind profiles 

      Møller, Mathias; Domagalski, Piotr; Sætran, Lars Roar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Understanding the vertical wind profile is paramount for design and operation of wind turbines. It is needed not only for extrapolation of the wind velocity to hub height but also for structural load calculations, to name ...
    • Cross-contamination effect on turbulence spectra from Doppler beam swinging wind lidar 

      Kelberlau, Felix; Mann, Jakob (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Turbulence velocity spectra are of high importance for the estimation of loads on wind turbines and other built structures, as well as for fitting measured turbulence values to turbulence models. Spectra generated from ...
    • Wind tunnel experiments on wind turbine wakes in yaw: effects of inflow turbulence and shear 

      Bartl, Jan Michael Simon; Mühle, Franz Volker; Schottler, Jannik; Sætran, Lars Roar; Peinke, Joachim; Adaramola, Muyiwa S.; Holling, Micheal (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The wake characteristics behind a yawed model wind turbine exposed to different customized inflow conditions are investigated. Laser Doppler anemometry is used to measure the wake flow in two planes at x∕D = 3 and x∕D = 6, ...
    • Wind tunnel experiments on wind turbine wakes in yaw: redefining the wake width 

      Schottler, Jannik; Bartl, Jan Michael Simon; Mühle, Franz Volker; Sætran, Lars Roar; Peinke, Joachim; Hölling, Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      This paper presents an investigation of wakes behind model wind turbines, including cases of yaw misalignment. Two different turbines were used and their wakes are compared, isolating effects of boundary conditions and ...
    • Wind tunnel study on power output and yaw moments for two yaw-controlled model wind turbines 

      Bartl, Jan Michael Simon; Mühle, Franz Volker; Sætran, Lars Roar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      In this experimental wind tunnel study the effects of intentional yaw misalignment on the power production and loads of a downstream turbine are investigated for full and partial wake overlap. Power, thrust force and yaw ...
