Wind turbine wind measurement requirements

4 FAQs about Wind turbine wind measurement requirements

Where should wind speed be measured?

For accurate wind speed measurements, it is important to measure the wind speed as near to the hub height of the proposed turbine as possible. If a hub height measurement is not made, then it will be necessary to estimate the shear profile.

How long should wind resources be measured?

Generally, wind resources must be measured for at least one year (Kose, 2004; Kang et al., 2021), but there are several limitations, including cost-related issues, such as site selection, installation of weather masts or LiDAR after physical and geotechnical ocean studies, and additional maintenance 11, 12.

How is wind energy assessed?

The assessment of wind energy requires data collection and the use of analytical methods and techniques to estimate the availability of winds for a wind turbine over its lifetime 7.

What is a reference wind turbine?

Reference wind turbine: Existing wind turbine the operating results of which are used as reference data to determine the energy yield and to verify the calculation method. Sensitivity factor: Change of the average energy yield in case of a minor change of average wind speed.
