Load validation using nacelle-mounted lidars: progress and challenges
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aeroelastic load simulations on a Siemens 2.3MW wind turbine have been validated using load measurements from the turbine and wind inflow measurements from a Nacelle based Lidar. A detailed survey of industrial usage of Nacelle mounted Lidars has also been conducted to extrapolate the findings from the present study to a broader framework.. Based on this information we assess the current technology status and recommend future focus areas.

Generic Methodology for Field Calibration of Nacelle-Based Wind Lidars
Nacelle-based Doppler wind lidars have shown promising capabilities to assess power performance, detect yaw misalignment or perform feed-forward control. The power curve application requires uncertainty assessment. Traceable measurements and uncertainties of nacelle-based wind lidars can be obtained through a methodology applicable to any type of existing and upcoming nacelle lidar technology. ...

متن کاملApplications of a Direct / Iterative Design Method to Complex Transonic
The current study explores the use of an automated direct/iterative design method for the reduction of drag for transport con gurations, including con gurations with engine nacelles. The method requires the user to choose a proper target-pressure distribution and then develops a corresponding airfoil section. The method can be applied to two-dimensional airfoil sections or to three-dimensional ...
متن کاملLidar-based Research and Innovation at DTU Wind Energy – a Review:
As wind turbines during the past decade have increased in size so have the challenges met by the atmospheric boundary-layer meteorologists and the wind energy society to measure and characterize the huge-volume wind fields surpassing and driving them. At the DTU Wind Energy test site “Østerild” for huge wind turbines, the hub-height of a recently installed 8 MW Vestas V164 turbine soars 143 met...
متن کاملCategory: LIDAR STATISTICAL LOAD ESTIMATION USING A NACELLE-BASED LIDAR SYSTEM
The paper presents the results of statistical load analyses based on data measured at the 5MW AREVA Wind M5000 onshore prototype. Measurements with standard meteorological measurement devices are analysed and compared to measurements with a pulsed LIDAR system which is enhanced with a multi-purpose scanning device installed on the top of the nacelle of the turbine. Based on these measurements s...
