TL;DR: In this paper, a method to model the correlation between lidar systems and wind turbines using Kaimal wind spectra is presented, which accounts for different measurement configurations and spatial averaging of the lidar system, different rotor sizes, and wind evolution.

Abstract: Investigations of lidar-assisted control to optimize the energy yield and to reduce loads of wind turbines have increased significantly in recent years. For this kind of control, it is crucial to know the correlation between the rotor effective wind speed and the wind preview provided by a nacelle- or spinner-based lidar system. If on the one hand, the assumed correlation is overestimated, then the uncorrelated frequencies of the preview will cause unnecessary control action, inducing undesired loads. On the other hand, the benefits of the lidar-assisted controller will not be fully exhausted, if correlated frequencies are filtered out. To avoid these miscalculations, this work presents a method to model the correlation between lidar systems and wind turbines using Kaimal wind spectra. The derived model accounts for different measurement configurations and spatial averaging of the lidar system, different rotor sizes, and wind evolution. The method is compared to real measurement data with promisin...

1. What are the contributions in "Model of the correlation between lidar systems and wind turbines for lidar assisted control" ?

For this kind of control it is crucial to know the correlation between the rotor effective wind speed and the wind preview provided by a nacelle or spinner based lidar system.. To avoid these uncertainties, this work presents a method to model the correlation between lidar systems and wind turbines using Kaimal wind spectra.. In a second step the model is augmented by a model for the decay due to wind evolution and compared to real measurement data with promising results.

2. What is the criterion for a lidar assisted control?

A criterion for lidar assisted control is derived: for a collective pitch feedforward controller the transfer function from the measured wind speed to the rotor effective wind speed obtained from turbine data has to be used to filter the data.

3. What is the main goal of the feedforward controller?

The feedforward controller ΣFF tries to compensate the effects of the wind field V to the rotor speed Ω.only provide delayed compensation for such excitations, since the disturbance effects must propagate through the entire wind turbine before showing its effects in the measured outputs.

4. What is the purpose of the symposium?

As LIDAR systems measure only the wind speed in line-of-sight direction, the three dimensional wind vector is reconstructed using the assumptionof perfect yaw alignment with the wind direction.
