Animation of Wind Turbine Air Flow and Modeled Wakes (Text Version)

This is the text version of the video Animation of Wind Turbine Air Flow and Modeled Wakes.

[no audio]

How air currents move through wind plants is not well understood. That's why the AWAKEN research team is using drones and lidar to map how winds flow between and around wind turbines and provide critical data that could help developers increase their plant's revenues and energy production.  

The video shows an animated schematic of a wind plant that designates the direction of airflow and shows drones and lasers capturing data.
