GE/NREL Bilateral Collaboration for the American Wake Experiment (AWAKEN) Cooperative Research and Development Final Report

Summary

This document is the final report for the GE/NREL Bilateral Collaboration for the American Wake Experiment (AWAKEN) under CRADA Number CRD-20-16906, dated October 11, 2024. The collaboration, funded by the U.S. DOE's Wind Energy Technologies Office with a total Government In-Kind commitment of $150,000 ($50,000 per year for three years), focused on researching power losses from wind turbine wakes and optimizing wind plant-atmospheric interactions. GE and NREL jointly modeled experiments, optimized sensor placement, defined control schemes, and analyzed field data. The completed work led to a publication in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy (Article No. 053306), available under OSTI ID: 2475780.
