Short summary
This work presents the scaled experimental validation of an active power control (APC) algorithm that improves wind farm power-tracking accuracy during turbulent wind lulls. Tests in a large low-blockage wind tunnel, including dynamic wind-direction changes, show that the method outperforms three reference APC strategies, especially under high power demand, while keeping structural fatigue low.
