Pointing turbines slightly away from oncoming wind – called wake-steering – can reduce that interference and improve both the quantity and quality of power from wind farms, and probably lower operating costs, a new Stanford study shows. Optimizing wind turbine positioning is essential for enhancing energy efficiency and reducing the wake effect. Proper turbine orientation. . Wind direction variability with height, known as “wind veer,” results in power losses for wind turbines (WTs) that rely on single-point wind measurements at the turbine nacelles. But when tightly packed lines of turbines face the wind on wind farms, wakes from upstream generators can interfere with those downstream.
