Estimation of Turbulence Intensity from Cup Anemometer-Based Mean Wind Speed Data via Fractal Interpolation

In the well-known process of the turbine design, turbulence intensity (TI) plays a vital role in prediction of the power output and loads on the turbine's structure. TI is believed to be an important statistical parameter of the wind speed that can be extracted from the signals recorded by the dedicated sensors in the wind energy area. Despite...

Detection of cup anemometer anomalies using machine learning

Past research has successfully increased the accuracy and quality of horizontal wind speed measurements made by cup anemometers. Errors are introduced in a variety of ways: when operational conditions deviate from calibration, due to flow distortion and as a result of the mechanical properties of an instrument changing during its lifetime....
