Modeling of a wind turbine farm in presence of wake interactions

In this paper, a new technology is presented for nonlinear wind farm modeling. First, a nonlinear state space model for wind turbines in the wind farm is presented. The effects of the wind wake on a particular turbine due to interactions with other turbines in a wind farm is studied. These effects are evaluated in a specific wind farm configuration to determine the effective wind speed at each turbine in the wind farm. The effective wind farm model is formulated for such effective wind speed at each turbine in the wind farm.
