  • Patent number: 12066011
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of establishing a wake management of a wind farm. The method comprises acts of monitoring one or more wake conditions using one or more sensors from one or more wind turbine generators (WTGs); and establishing a wake management of the wind farm as a function of the wake conditions. Disclosed is also a method of optimising operation of a wind turbine park based on wake management and a system for generating wake management.
