Potential methods for wake control using aerofoils.

在风力机阵列中，上游机组的尾流对下游机组的性能影响很大。本研究计画主要探讨利用翼型进行尾流控制的方法，以改善整个阵列的性能。该项目将涉及使用马卡姆风洞和缩小规模的风力发电场和翼型的实验。它还将涉及开发一个理论模型来描述涡轮机之间的相互作用，这将用于创建模拟大气。该项目有可能提高风力发电场的寿命和效率，使全球向可再生能源的过渡更具经济可行性。

In arrays of wind turbines, the performance of downstream turbines ishindered significantly by the wake of those upstream. This research projectfocuses on investigating potential methods for wake control using aerofoils, inorder improve the performance of the whole array. The project will involveexperiments using the Markham wind tunnel and scaled-down wind farms andaerofoils. It will also involve developing a theoretical model to describe theinteractions between the turbines, which will be used to create simulations ofthe atmosphere. This project has the potential to improve the lifetime andefficiency of wind farms, making the global transition to renewable energymore economically viable.
