CL-Windcon

The CL-Windocn project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 727477, 14 partners from 6 countries participate in, and it will have a duration of 36 months, coming to an end in October 2019. The project sets out a new way of designing and operating wind farms, shedding light on the closed-loop control paradigm. It deals with the uncertainties at farm level, and ultimately seeks the increase of power output and the reduction of the uncertainty corresponding to such power output. In order to achieve its goals, CL-Windcon will address advanced modeling, open- and closed-loop control algorithms at a farm level by treating the entire wind farm as a comprehensive real-time optimization problem.
