Abstract
A system and method are provided for operating a wind farm includes determining a wind direction and identifying a turbine cluster, which is a subset of a plurality of wind turbines of the wind farm. The subset includes an upwind turbine and a downwind turbine that is affected by a wake emanating from the upwind turbine. The controller then determines a difference between a freestream maximal cluster power output and a wake-affected cluster power output for the turbine cluster. The controller determines a mitigation setpoint combination for the subset configured to establish a mitigated cluster power output. Based on the mitigation setpoint combination, an operating state of at least one wind turbine of the turbine cluster is changed.
