The Texas Tech University (TTU) research group is actively studying wind turbine wake development, as part of developing innovative wake control strategies to improve the performance of wind farms. The team has a set of eight ground lidars to perform field measurements at the Sandia National Laboratories SWiFT site. This document describes tests details including configurations, timeframe, hardware, and the required collaboration from the Sandia team. This test plan will facilitate the coordination between both TTU and the Sandia team in terms of site accessibility, staff training, and data sharing to meet the specific objectives of the tests.
