The nacelle anemometer mounted behind the blade roots of a wind turbine measures distorted wind speed comparable with free-stream wind because of the wake effects caused dependent upon the operation of the wind turbine and the rotation of its blades. The field campaign was carried out to measure free-stream wind speed at a height identical to the height of the nacelle anemometer by deploying a ground-based remote-sensing equipment, LIDAR. It is derived that a third-order polynomial equation for correcting wind speed measured by the nacelle anemometer to undistorted free-stream wind speed incident to a wind turbine. It is anticipated that the derived correction equation enables wind speed measured by the nacelle anemometer to be used as a precise input for a wind turbine performance test and for developing an active control logic.

A study on Nacelle Lidar (Light detection and ranging) measurement error and the data reliability verification was carried out at Haengwon wind farm on Jeju Island. For measurement data error processing, the characteristics of Nacelle Lidar measurements were analyzed by dividing into three parts, which are weather conditions (temperature, humidity, atmosphere, amount of precipitation), mechanical movement (rotation of wind turbine blades, tilt variation of Nacelle Lidar) and Nacelle Lidar data availability. After processing the measurement error, the reliability of Nacelle Lidar data was assessed by comparing with wind data by an anemometer on a met mast, which is located at a distance of 200m from the wind turbine with Nacelle Lidar. As a result, various weather conditions and mechanical movement did not disturb reliable data measurement. Nacelle Lidar data with availability of 95% or more could be used for checking Nacelle Lidar wind data reliability. The reliability of Nacelle Lidar data was very high with regression coefficient of 98% and coefficient of determination of 97%.

풍력터빈 블레이드의 후단, 나셀 상부에 설치되는 나셀 풍속계는 블레이드 회전에 따른 후류효과 및 나셀형상 등으로 인하여 풍력터빈에 입사되는 자연풍속과는 다른 왜곡된 풍속을 측정한다. 풍력터빈 출력성능의 신뢰성 확보를 위해서는 나셀풍속을 자연풍속으로 보정하는 나셀전달함수를 유도하여 성능곡선을 보정하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 전라남도 비금도 북부 해안에 건설된 신안풍력발전소에서 지상기반 원격탐사 장비인 라이다(LiDAR)를 설치하여 나셀 풍속계와 동일 높이에서의 자연풍속을 측정하였다. 나셀풍속을 자연풍속으로 보정하는 기존의 단순회귀분석에 의한 선형 나셀전달함수를 개선하기 위하여 다중회귀분석에 의한 비선형 나셀전달함수를 유도하였다. 나셀전달함수로 계산한 보정풍속을 풍력터빈 출력곡선에 대입하여 산출한 이론 발전량과 실제 발전량의 잔차를 비교하여 개선효과를 검증하였다. 다중회귀분석 나셀전달함수는 단순회귀분석에 비해 풍속의 표준오차는 9.4% 감소하였으며, 발전량 잔차 분포의 평균은 6.5% 감소하여 개선효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

Wind turbines have an enormous potential for decentralized electricity generation. In recent years, there has been an increasing worldwide interest in small/medium wind systems. This paper presents the results of power performance testing conducted on a 50 kW turbine located in Yeonggwang test-bed. The turbine system is a pitch, active yaw, variable speed, upwind, three blade with a direct drive PMSG. This thesis covers the operation of variable speed wind turbines with pitch-yaw control. The system considered is controlled to generate maximum energy while minimizing loads. The data include power, wind speed, and direction from meteorological towers, and nacelle anemometer readings and output from turbine. The analysis concentrates on the effect of the load on the power-wind speed curve of the turbine.
