Turbulence and Heterogeneous Wind Conditions in the Field of Wind Energy: Quantification of Heterogeneity Effect on Lidar Measurements and Turbulence Normalisation on Wind Turbine Power Curves

Monitoring and optimising turbine performance are important tasks of a wind energy operator. However, monitoring activities are expensive and the current state-of-the-art in this field could be improved. A newly developed Avent five-beam Lidar was tested and the impact of heterogeneity on Lidar measurements was analysed. Also, the effect of...
