Short summary
We experimentally investigated how changes in wind direction with height, known as wind veer, affect the wakes of wind turbines. The results demonstrate that wind veer leads to faster wake recovery and higher available power for downwind turbines. The impact of wind veer on yawed turbines is also studied, and it was observed that under strong veer conditions, yawing does not provide a significantly larger benefit for the available power of downwind turbines.
