NACELLE ANEMOMETRY FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER PREDICTION SYSTEM

摘要

The purpose of this study is to establish the nacelle anemometry for the wind forecast. This paper describes the problems of the meteorological anemometry and the nacelle anemometry based on measurement data in Japan. In the results, it is shown that wind velocity measured at the mast is less related with power output of wind turbines than measured at the nacelle. However it seems power curve referred to the nacelle anemometer to shift to lower wind velocity. Then the numerical simulation is carried out for the flow field around the nacelle and the blade as the first step.
