Researchers Are Collecting the Most Comprehensive Data on How Winds Move Through Wind Power Plants
“Windmills,” Bob Kerr said, “don’t eat.”
That deal could soon get even better for farmers like Kerr who live in wind-rich states like Oklahoma. In the spring of 2022, researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory will launch an international, multi-institutional wind energy field campaign called the. Funded by the U.S.
But before any data collection could happen, Moriarty and his research team needed to find the right locations to place their instruments to get clear shots of the turbines. “If there are trees or buildings or hills in the way, that would block our efforts,” Moriarty said. And there were: During a July field trip to Oklahoma, the team found plenty of obstacles to navigate.
For the final step of the AWAKEN field campaign, specialized aircraft will fly sensors from plant to plant to collect that large-scale data and understand how wakes from one wind plant might affect its neighbors. At the same time, drones will use faster sensors to pick up more precise data than previous tools.
