SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING WIND FARM WAKE LOSS

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to a system and method 100 for determining wake losses of a wind farm 200. The wind farm 200 includes a plurality of wind turbines 202. The method 100 includes operating the wind farm 200 in a first operational mode 102. Another step includes collecting 104 turbine-level data from at least one upstream wind turbines 202 in the wind farm 200 during the first operational mode. The method 100 also includes estimating 106 a freestream farm-level power output for the wind farm 200 during first operational mode based, at least in part, on the collected turbine-level data. A further step 108 includes measuring an actual farm-level power output for the wind farm 200 for the first operational mode. Thus, the method 100 also includes determining 110 the wake losses of the wind farm 200 for the first operational mode as a function of the measured actual farm-level power output and the estimated freestream farm-level power output.
