Prediction of wind park output power based on turbine effective wind speed - a model identification approach

Abstract

This paper deals with off-shore wind park model identification for output power prediction purpose. The investigated solution is based upon identifying the so-called wind deficiency factor for each turbine and for each wind direction sector. This is done by employing the effective wind speed concept that can establish a link between output power of a wind turbine and the meteorological mast measures. Numerical simulations show the feasibility of the proposed approach.
