Wind farm performance - Power Analysis of a wind turbine
Abstract
Wind conditions from a wind farm situated in Ørland were analyzed based on a ten minute measurements in order to obtain the power and efficiency curves. The results from the analysis were compared with different curves provided from the company Vestas and with theoretical terms. Moreover, it was shown how is affected the power curve of the wind turbine by the wake effect of the other turbines. The different ways of plotting these curves based on wind speed either from the anemometer of the wind turbine or through Windcube v2, a device that provides information about the wind conditions of the location, were discussed.
