The performance of horizontal axis wind turbines strongly depends on the speed of the wind that enters in the rotor of the turbine. Unfortunately, this quantity is rarely available since the wind speed is measured on the back of the turbine, where a lower value is present. For this reason, two correction methods are usually employed that require two input quantities: the wind speed on the back of the turbine nacelle and the wind speed detected by a meteorological station close to the investigated turbine. Since an anemometric station is not always available, a third method is here proposed that does not require this input quantity. The proposed method relies on the wind speed on the back of the turbine and the manufacturer power curve. The effectiveness of such a method is shown by comparison to the results obtained with the standard methods implemented on a wind power plant in Southern Italy.

Abstract

The performance of horizontal axis wind turbines strongly depends on the speed of the wind that enters in the rotor of the turbine. Unfortunately, this quantity is rarely available since the wind speed is measured on the back of the turbine, where a lower value is present. For this reason, two correction methods are usually employed that require two input quantities: the wind speed on the back of the turbine nacelle and the wind speed detected by a meteorological station close to the investigated turbine. Since an anemometric station is not always available, a third method is here proposed that does not require this input quantity. The proposed method relies on the wind speed on the back of the turbine and the manufacturer power curve. The effectiveness of such a method is shown by comparison to the results obtained with the standard methods implemented on a wind power plant in Southern Italy.
