Steps in anemometry
 Setting up a wind-monitoring tower
 Installing sensors at different heights
 Installing data logger and programming
 Collection & Recording of time-series data
 Analysis of Recorded data
Typical Wind Monitoring Station
Remote Sensing Techniques
 SODAR Sound Detection and Ranging
 LIDAR Light Detection and Ranging
Applications of RS Techniques
 Wind Resource Mapping
 Wind Profiling (Vertically and horizontally)
 Wind Scanning (In a plane and in a volume)
 Power Curve Verification
 Determination of Wind Loads
 Wind Turbine Control (Feed Forward Control)
Important Issues
 Remote Sensing Applications
On-Shore and Off-Shore
 Size & Hub Height are increasing (Design Stage)
Example:10 MW, Rotor Diameter 180 m
Hub Height of 165 m
 Meteorological towers are very expensive above
100 m height.
Important Issues
 Meteorological towers measures wind
characteristics at a point but Remote sensing
measures in a volume of space.
 Remote sensing can measure temperature
profile very effectvely.
 Cup anemometer (reference instrument) data
and lidar recorded data show closeness with
in 1 percent.
 Studies of mixing layer height in the
atmospheric boundary layer is very important
due to low level jet effects at different times of
the day due to synoptic situation changes in
12 hours period.
For Example the difference in wind shear
profile above and below 160 m level is
significant for multi-MW wind turbine.
Important Issues
 Temperature inversion in the atmosphere
affects back scatter.
 Usually maximum output of a wind farm is
occuring at night time as compared to day
time due to lower level of turbulence. It offers
integration of solar photo voltaic energy in
existing wind farms to normalise the
difference in output.
 Sodar technique can be used for
measurement in the range of 200 m to 600 m
and lidar technique can be used upto 2000 m.
Important Issues
 By using pulsed coherent lidars for remote
sensing of wind the measurement is
performed in the slice of atmosphere
instead of a point.
 Lidar offers power curve verification of
wind turbines through remote sensing.
 Buoy and floating plateform mounted
lidars are useful for off shore applications.
Important Issues
 Wind scanner can be used for pro-active control
of wind turbine.
For Example nacelle mounted lidras can sense
approaching wind front say at 300 m ahead of
rotor. By the time the wind front strikes the rotor,
the blade pitching takes place to optimum angle.
The feed forward control of wind turbine is thus
achieved.
Important Issues
 Concept of Rotor Equivalent Wind Speed
(REWS) is more realistic than hub height
single point reference wind speed for power
curve verification as well as for assessment
and quantification of kinetic energy in wind.
Important Issues
 Lidar/Sodar is used with a met mast for
initialization and calibration for measuring
wind characteristics even upto the tip of blade
in vertical position.
 Even 1 percent inaccuracy in wind resource
measurement over a period of one year leads
to substantial generation revenue loss for
1 MW wind turbine due to cubic relationship.
Important Issues
 For Off-Shore application sea-state
instrumentation is required which is costlier
and sophisticated than normal
instrumentation.
Important Issues
Siting
Wind Farm Layout
MICRO-SITING
Art of positioning Wind Turbines in a Wind-Farm for
Maximizing its Annual Energy Production (AEP)
Based on
1. Wind Characteristic Parametrs
2. Wind Turbine Parameters
3. Site Parameters
Typical Layout
 Turbine Spacing 7
times diameter in
prevailing wind
direction.
 Turbine Spacing 4
times diameter
perpendicular to wind
direction.

  • 43. Important Issues  Remote Sensing Applications On-Shore and Off-Shore  Size & Hub Height are increasing (Design Stage) Example:10 MW, Rotor Diameter 180 m Hub Height of 165 m  Meteorological towers are very expensive above 100 m height.
  • 44. Important Issues  Meteorological towers measures wind characteristics at a point but Remote sensing measures in a volume of space.  Remote sensing can measure temperature profile very effectvely.  Cup anemometer (reference instrument) data and lidar recorded data show closeness with in 1 percent.
  • 45.  Studies of mixing layer height in the atmospheric boundary layer is very important due to low level jet effects at different times of the day due to synoptic situation changes in 12 hours period. For Example the difference in wind shear profile above and below 160 m level is significant for multi-MW wind turbine. Important Issues
  • 46.  Temperature inversion in the atmosphere affects back scatter.  Usually maximum output of a wind farm is occuring at night time as compared to day time due to lower level of turbulence. It offers integration of solar photo voltaic energy in existing wind farms to normalise the difference in output.  Sodar technique can be used for measurement in the range of 200 m to 600 m and lidar technique can be used upto 2000 m. Important Issues
  • 47.  By using pulsed coherent lidars for remote sensing of wind the measurement is performed in the slice of atmosphere instead of a point.  Lidar offers power curve verification of wind turbines through remote sensing.  Buoy and floating plateform mounted lidars are useful for off shore applications. Important Issues
  • 48.  Wind scanner can be used for pro-active control of wind turbine. For Example nacelle mounted lidras can sense approaching wind front say at 300 m ahead of rotor. By the time the wind front strikes the rotor, the blade pitching takes place to optimum angle. The feed forward control of wind turbine is thus achieved. Important Issues
  • 49.  Concept of Rotor Equivalent Wind Speed (REWS) is more realistic than hub height single point reference wind speed for power curve verification as well as for assessment and quantification of kinetic energy in wind. Important Issues
  • 50.  Lidar/Sodar is used with a met mast for initialization and calibration for measuring wind characteristics even upto the tip of blade in vertical position.  Even 1 percent inaccuracy in wind resource measurement over a period of one year leads to substantial generation revenue loss for 1 MW wind turbine due to cubic relationship. Important Issues
  • 51.  For Off-Shore application sea-state instrumentation is required which is costlier and sophisticated than normal instrumentation. Important Issues
