Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO126: Combining scanning and VAD lidars on a TLP met mast for optimum P90 of large OWFs.
Dimitri Foussekis, Senior wind analyst & SCADA specialist, ETME
Abstract
The current work proposes a setup for the wind resource assessment (WRA) of far from shore large offshore wind farms (OWF), floating or bottom-fixed. It is based on a successful 1-year deployment and the obtained results (fully compliant to IEC-61400-12-1 standard & MEASNET guideline) using FloatMast, a tension leg platform (TLP) equipped with a VAD lidar and a met mast reaching 44m asl. Here, the setup is enhanced, by adding a scanning lidar (SL) to obtain the full wind map around a radius of 12km, thus covering a multi-GW size OWF. This setup can also measure the long-range wakes of neighbor OWFs and quantify which areas of the current project are affected and how. Atmospheric stability, an important parameter offshore, can be safely evaluated from measurements either from ultrasonic anemometers or from several per-height thermometers. Identifying atmospheric stability conditions, allows safe extrapolation of turbulence intensity (TI) from cup anemometers at hub-heights. Alternatively, VAD lidar's TI results can be used, provided that the employed TI correction algorithm is validated at the heights of cup anemometers. Combining the advantages of traditional (cups/vanes/ultrasonic) and state-of-the-art (scanning lidar) devices, assures low-uncertainty and high-quality data, which are needed to increase the bankability of large OWFs.
