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.
PO127: Evaluating Site-Suitability Acceptance Criteria for Lidar-Measured Turbulence: Insights from a Large RWE Dataset
Zachary Parker, Senior Applied Scientist, RWE
Abstract
Acceptance criteria (AC) to identify lidar turbulence measurements appropriate for use in site-suitability assessments have been previously identified in the Lidar Measured Turbulence Intensity – Joint Industry Project (JIP) led by DNV. These have not yet been widely adopted in the industry. With an interest in evaluating the applicability of these AC and enabling higher confidence in vertical profiling lidar measurements for wind farm development, RWE has analyzed an in-house dataset of about 50 co-located lidar-mast pairs. This serves as an expanded test of the applicability of site-suitability AC for lidar Turbulence Intensity (TI) measurements beyond the datasets available during the initial JIP. RWE has evaluated additional metrics and potential threshold values for AC which enable improved identification of datasets appropriate for site-suitability assessment. Our findings highlight that the current standard AC are too strict, often leading to the rejection of datasets without valid justification. Alternative metrics and thresholds within the AC framework can allow for a more practical assessment of the applicability of datasets for site suitability assessment.
