Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus for improving wind harvest efficiency comprises: a wind turbine, a processor, and a computer-usable medium embodying computer code, said computer-usable medium being coupled to said processor, said computer code comprising non-transitory instruction media executable by said processor configured for: setting a desired location range of a wind wake with a controller, determining an error signal indicative of a difference between a currently measured cross-stream thrust component of wind and an optimal cross-stream thrust component of wind, adjusting a speed of a rotor associated with the wind turbine according to the error signal, and confining a real-time position of the wind wake to the desired location range of the wind wake.
