Short summary
This work investigates the impact of wind direction uncertainty on wake steering, a promising flow-control strategy that aims to increase the efficiency of wind farms, using high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics. It concludes that wake steering is sensitive to both bias and uncertainty in inflow wind direction due to having a relatively small range over which gains are predicted and showing significant decreases in peak power output with increasing wind direction uncertainty.
