Abstract
System, methods, and computer readable medium are disclosed for altering orientation of fluid turbines within a cluster. Altering orientation of fluid turbines within a cluster includes a first turbine assuming a first orientation relative to a direction of fluid flow; a second turbine in proximity to the first turbine, and assuming a second orientation relative to the first orientation, wherein the first and/or second orientations are adjustable to mitigate interference with downstream turbine operation; a processor for receiving an indication that the first turbine imposes interference on the second turbine; based on the indication, determine a third orientation enabling the first and second turbines to produce greater aggregate electrical energy than would be produced with the first turbine in the first orientation and the second turbine in the second orientation; and transmit a signal for changing one of the first and second orientations to the third orientation.
