Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media including instructions for synchronizing a plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines. Synchronizing a plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines includes receiving first signals indicative of a phase of a rotational cycle of first rotating blades of a first turbine configured to generate a downstream fluid flow; receiving second signals indicative of a phase of a rotational cycle of second rotating blades of a second turbine configured to receive at least a portion of the downstream fluid flow and generate a differential power output; determining from the first and second signals that greater aggregate power output is achievable through blade phase coordination; determining a phase correction between the first and second rotating blades based on the first and second signals to achieve the greater aggregate power output; calculating coordinating signals based on the phase correction; and outputting the coordinating signals to impose the phase correction.
