Short summary
We conducted wind tunnel experiments on nine wind turbine models and measured their power while intentionally yawing them away from the wind direction. By testing a broad range of yaw-angle combinations, we found that this method can increase the total power output by up to 5.3%. We also observed how different columns of turbines respond uniquely to these changes and how wind speed affects the overall improvement. Our findings could be useful in developing more accurate wind farm control models.
