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!
PO184: Accurate wind measurements using Nacelle Mounted Lidars to support IEC power performance measurements of modern wind turbines onshore and offshore.
Chris Slinger, Senior Scientist, ZX Lidars
Abstract
This technical paper evaluates a Multi-Range Focussing, Continuous Wave (CW) Doppler Lidar's effectiveness in delivering accurate wind speed measurements at modern wind turbine hub heights. The accuracy of these hub height wind measurements is crucial for complying with industry standards and turbine manufacturers' contractual requirements. Accurate data at these heights is vital for power performance measurements and testing in line with IEC 61400-50-3 and IEC 61400-12-1 standards, which verify that turbines meet their performance expectations. Traditional methods, such as meteorological masts with cup anemometers, become increasingly cost prohibitive as elevated turbine heights increase. Nacelle Mounted Lidars overcome these limitations by offering a non-intrusive, high-accuracy solution, as confirmed by calibration studies and independent validations. A range of studies are assessed for one such Nacelle Mounted Lidar - ZX TM - providing evidence of wind speed measurements with deviations as low as 0.2% at various heights, affirming its reliability for industry compliance and performance assessment.
