Short summary
In wind farms, upstream turbine wakes negatively influence performance of downstream turbines. To mitigate this, we optimized wind farm performance by directly controlling generated wakes and using them as feedback. We used a light detection and ranging (lidar) device to track generated airflow and adjust upstream turbines in real time. This approach increased overall power output while keeping additional structural loading on the turbines low.
