  2. Table of Contents • Motivation • Experiment setup • SWE LiDAR system • Power curve determination • Outlook &Conclusions [Fig. SWE] [Fig. SWE]

  3. Motivation Need of power curves • Calculation of annual energy production • Sales argument / economic profitability • Worldwide comparability (IEC 61400-12-1) • Reasons for developing new techniques • Increasing hub heights of wind turbines • Cost expansive determination of p-v- curves offshore/ complex terrain Nacelle-based LiDAR wind field measurements taking into account • Whole swept rotor disc • Wind direction (slow variation) • Horizontal wind shear, vertical wind shear (fast variation) • More free valid areas  Less sectors to exclude  Faster measurement campaigns 3

  4. Experiment setup: wind turbine & met mast • AREVA Wind GmbH • M5000 prototype • Rated power: 5 MW • 116m rotor diameter • 102m hub height • Measurement project • Power curve and load measurement (acc. IEC) • Met mast (102 m height) • Meteorological sensors • Data acquisition system • LiDAR device 1st Class anemometer [Fig. SWE] Temperature sensor and 3D-sonic anemometry

  5. Experiment setup: LiDAR system and scanner LiDAR deviceandscanner LiDAR systeminstalled on thenacelle [Fig. SWE, EWEC 2010]

  6. Howtoscantheincoming wind field • Basic Trajectory • Origin 3:4 Lissajous figure, complex harmonicmotion • Fastest way to scan(8.4 sec), good temporal and spatial resolution • Adapted to 7x7 grid points • Use of pulsed LiDAR System: 5 focus planes simultaneously hub height

  8. State of the art of power curve determination From the scatter plot to a power curve(separating the measurement data into BINs of 0.5 m/s)

  11. Power curve determination – area weighted rotor disc A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 [R.Wagner] A : rotor swept area : average wind speed of layer i Ai : area of the circular segment 12

  12. LiDAR power curves • Comparison criteria • Summed up (over all bins) the standard deviation of Pelof each BIN • Summed up (over all bins) the difference between Pel(anemometer binning, IEC) and Pel(LiDAR binning) of each BIN

  13. Conclusion and outlook • Nacelle-based LiDAR power curve determination over the whole rotor disc have less scatter and less standard deviation  higher accuracy • Assumptions necessary • Various determination approaches to investigate • Further studies are necessary • Fundamental investigations concerning vertical shear & turbulence measurements • Investigation of p-v- curves with interpolated measurement points of different focus planes • Use of further quality and comparison criteria for best fit of measurement points •  Reduction of measurement points needed (with sufficient accuracy and information) •  Best/most optimal beam configuration •  Simple LiDAR device without moving parts
