In a boost for the future of wind energy, engineers show how turbines can work together to reduce turbulence on wind farms, mitigating one of the huge cons of wind energy.
MIT engineers have developed a method to increase wind farms’ energy output. Whereas individual turbines are typically controlled separately, the new approach models the wind flow of the entire collection of turbines and optimizes the control of individual units.
Virtually all wind turbines, which produce more than 5 percent of the world's electricity, are controlled as if they were individual, free-standing units. In
