6 FAQs about [Illustration of wind measurement methods in wind farms]

How to calculate the flow field and power of a wind farm?

A quick and easy numerical calculation approach for calculating the flow field and power of a wind farm is provided by the engineering wake model in the numerical simulation method. Most of them are used as core algorithms to calculate wake effects in commercial software for wind farms.

How can a wind farm be used for research?

Data from SCADA systems are also routinely collected for wake analysis. In modern wind-field experiments, the resolution of the wind-speed and wind-direction measurements can fulfil research needs, reaching 0.1 m/s and 1°, respectively. Most of the tested wind farms are located on flat terrain; only a few are located on complex terrain.

How efficient is a wind-farm based on the measured data?

The estimated wind-farm efficiency based on the measured data was 90%, whereas that predicted by the WAsP model was 86%. This discrepancy reveals that the modeling time was independent of the wind-farm power production, and that the actual produced power was 5.7% more than the power estimated by the power curve.

Can a wide-area measurement system be used to measure wind farms?

Considering the superiority of wide-area measurement systems, this paper develops a novel methodology for practical synchrophasor measurement-based modeling and parameter identification of wind farms.

What is the best method for calculating wind turbine flow?

(6) The direct modeling (DM) method, which discretizes actual blades on a computational grid for calculation, is the most reasonable method for calculating flow around the wind turbine through a body-fitted grid; direct modeling is also helpful in understanding the mechanism of fan-wake aerodynamics. Figure 2. Wind turbine blade-modeling.

How are wind turbine wakes measured?

Field measurements of wakes are performed on full-size wind turbines located in different types of terrain, ranging among offshore, coastal, flat and even complex terrain. The focus has been both to measure the long-term wake distribution with mast mounted instruments and to scan the near wake distribution with LiDARS or Windscanners.
