Short summary
Neighbouring wind turbines influence each other, as they leave a complex footprint of reduced wind speed and changed turbulence in the flow, called wake. Modern wind farm control sees the turbines as team players and aims to mitigate the negative effects of such interaction. To do so, the exact flow situation in the wind farm must be known. We show how to use wind turbines as sensors for waked inflow, test this in the field and compare it with independent laser measurements of the flow field.
