〈div〉〈p〉This article presents a review of control strategies for maximizing power production within wind farms. Discussions focus on three notable concepts; power de-rating, yaw-based wake redirection, and turbine repositioning. Existing works that have examined the potential of these concepts via optimization studies, numerical simulation, experimentation, as well as those that have developed and evaluated control algorithms, are reviewed thoroughly and quantitatively. Criteria for this review process include the evaluation methods employed, simulated wind conditions, controller properties such as model dependency and communication architecture, and the resulting relative rise in wind farm efficiency. The data collected from existing literature is then utilized to draw conclusions regarding the influence of each of these criteria on the potential and performance of wind farm controllers. Appropriate recommendations for future modeling and controller design research are then offered based on these conclusions.〈/p〉〈/div〉
