Noise Steering: Exploiting Wake Steering and Acoustic Directivity for Noise-Constrained Wind Farm Control via Reinforcement Learning
arXiv:2610.36888v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing noise mitigation strategies for wind farms usually consist in reducing turbines power output, without accounting for the wake interactions between them and the noise emission directivity. This leads to over-conservative policies and unexploited wind power. Yet, turbine yaw can simultaneously affect wake interactions and the direction of noise emission, offering an additional degree of freedom for farm-level noise control. We therefore…
