Yaw Control: The Forgotten Controls Problem (EWEA 2011 Poster)

Catch the Wind’s poster presentation, Yaw Control: The Forgotten Controls Problem, was given at the European Wind Energy Association’s Annual Conference and Exhibition, March 16, 2011 in Brussels, Belgium.

This poster presents yaw misalignment and power data collected from a utility-scale wind turbine. We further present statistics indicating that all of the wind farms considered in this study demonstrated similar results. Finally, we demonstrate that accurate alignment with the inflow increases the captured power and energy.
