Nearly a million chickens packed the barns at Howe’s Hens last Christmas Eve when the first of them tested positive for bird flu.
The deadly virus spreads so fast that even if only one hen is infected,
farmers are legally obligated to kill all of the others.
Massive mounds of carcasses soon appeared outside the Ohio egg farm, covered in compost. 
The slaughter wasn’t enough.
The virus tore through industrial barns in Darke County
and moved on through one …

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic
Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

A novel spatial distribution method for wind farm parameterizations based on the Gaussian function
Wind farm parameterizations are crucial for quantifying the wind-farm atmosphere interaction, where wind turbines are typically modeled as elevated momentum sinks and sources of turbulence kinetic energy (TKE). These quantities must be properly distributed to the mesoscale grid. Existing parameterizations use the single-column method. However, this method can easily lead to the errors of the spatial distribution of the sink and source, thereby impacting the accuracy of mesoscale flow simulation…

Optimal placement of wind farms via quantile constraint learning
Wind farm placement arranges the size and the location of multiple wind farms within a given region. The power output is highly related to the wind speed on spatial and temporal levels, which can be modeled by advanced data-driven approaches. To this end, we use a probabilistic neural network as a surrogate that accounts for the spatiotemporal correlations of wind speed. This neural network uses ReLU activation functions so that it can be reformulated as mixed-integer linear set of constraints …

Multi-Loop Design of Virtual Synchronous Machine Control for DFIG-Based Wind Farms
The displacement of synchronous generators by converter-interfaced renewable energy sources obliges wind farms to provide inertia, damping, and voltage support, above all in increasingly weak grid conditions. This paper presents a co-ordinated frequency-domain methodology for tuning all control layers of doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) within a wind farm operated as a Virtual Synchronous Machine (VSM). Starting from a full small-signal linearisation that preserves loop-to-loop and machi…

Wind Farm Dynamics over a Diurnal Cycle: Analysis of a Comprehensive Large Eddy Simulation, Web-Services Accessible Dataset
The atmospheric boundary layer undergoes significant changes throughout a diurnal cycle, affecting wind turbine performance and wakes in wind farms. Wind farm Large Eddy Simulations (LES) under such conditions provide rich datasets to study the underlying dynamics and identify important trends. Here, we describe a comprehensive open dataset generated using LES of an 8-turbine wind farm consisting of four rows of two turbines. To avoid specifying either prescribed surface temperature or heat flu…

Wind farm layout optimization using a novel machine learning approach
We present a novel approach to optimize wind farm layouts for maximum annual energy production (AEP). The optimization effort requires efficient wake models to predict the wake flow and, subsequently, the power generation of wind farms with reasonable accuracy and low computational cost. Wake flow predictions using large-eddy simulation (LES) ensure high fidelity, while reduced-order models, e.g., the Gaussian-curl hybrid (GCH), provide computational efficiency. We integrate LES results and the…

Zero bids came in to develop the zero-subsidy 1 GW Dutch offshore wind farm Nederwiek-1A.
The slow pace of electrification depresses electricity price forecasts, and the uncertainty that Europe's heavy industry faces doesn't help either.
With the prospect of subsidies next year this outcome was already feared.

Data-driven modeling of wind farm wake flow based on multi-scale feature recognition
Accurate, efficient prediction of wind flow with wake effects is crucial for wind-farm layout and power forecasting. Existing approaches-physical measurements, numerical simulations, physics-based models, and data-driven models-face trade-offs: the first two are time- and resource-intensive; physics-based models can lack accuracy due to limited physics; data-driven methods leverage abundant, high-quality data and are increasingly popular. We propose a rapid, data-driven wake-flow model inspired…

Physics-based modelling of turbulence in wind-turbine wakes
So-called engineering or analytical wind farm flow solvers typically build upon two submodels: one for the velocity deficit and one for the wake-added turbulence intensity. While velocity deficit modelling has received considerable attention, wake-added turbulence models are less prevalent in comparison. Yet, accurate estimates of local turbulence intensity are essential for predicting flow interactions and energy yield, as turbine wakes are both sensitive to and sources of turbulence. Existing…
