Evaluation of Correlation the Wind Speed Measurements and Wind Turbine Characteristics

The renewable wind power generation spreads over. The application of wind turbines requires wind prediction and nation wide production control. The generation forecasts are based on measurements, models and wind turbine characteristics. In this paper we introduce the validation of the characteristics through the definition of the relationship between the real measurements. We found that the pure remote wind speed and production measurements are not correlated. Reordering these data, applying the cumulative distribution function, we can come close to the ‘factory characteristics’. Defining the ratio between the measured characteristics and factory characteristics, we can find the practical relation between a remote wind speed measurement and a local wind at the turbine. This approach is based on energy production of a longer time period.
