70 Correlation analysis of wind measurements Wind basics - Patra,

71 The problem Wind production forecast = wind forecast + turbine caharactereistics There is no exact wind forecast for the wind turbine sites The forecast is crucial for the integration large wind parks into the network The question: Can we forecast the generated energy based on remote wind forecast? Wind basics - Patra,

72 The real task Not in that place Not in that time Not correct wind forecast Forecast Application measurement Terrestrial forms Wind basics - Patra,

73 The factory characteristics In the project we investigate a V-27 turbine at Bükkaranyos and wind measurement ant Folyás meteorological station. The figure shows a typical characteristics of wind turbines (V27). This curve is measured in stationary mode, it does not contain the effect of local turbulences, direction changes and wind speed differences between the upper and lower part of the (spinning) rotor measurements. Wind basics - Patra,

74 Characteristics based on pure measurements? Wind basics - Patra,

75 Correlation? The causes of the lack of correlation are The distance between the wind turbine and wind measurement The local wind turbulences that create difference in the wind blow at the two measurement points. Wind basics - Patra,

76 Other causes: turbulence The local wind turbulences that create difference in the wind blow at the two measurement points. fast (1-6 sec), the medium (1-6 min) and the slow (1-6 hour) changes. The fast and medium wind speed and direction changes are not handled (followed) by the turbine, it causes deviances. Turbine dynamics and measurement errors, etc. Wind speed changes Wind direction changes Wind speed changes measurement on minute scale Wind basics - Patra,

77 Distributional reorganization: a functional transformation An ideal wind speed and power output measurement at the same tower should give the factory characteristics of the wind turbine, the two measurements correlate on the factory curve. If we prepare the cumulative distribution function of both measurements, the previous correlation is still valid and we get the same curve. Wind basics - Patra,

78 Back to the measurements (Bükkaranyos Folyás: 33km) Wind basics - Patra,

79 Characteristics matching Based on the above mentioned, the locally differently running curve is substituted by a globally similarly cumulated distribution function. We investigate not the specific synchronized moments but the same period, so we integrate the power into generated energy. This is an energy based characteristics retrieval. Figure shows characteristics similar to the factory characteristics (marked by dots). Wind basics - Patra,

80 Meaurement distances Name of wind measurement place Distance of the wind turbine Bükkaranyos Folyás Agárd Túrkeve Mosonmagyaróvár Győr 33 km 187 km 98 km 263 km 238 km Wind basics - Patra,

81 Wind power generation forecast See WinDemo! Wind basics - Patra,

82 Wind power generation forecast Rough: Windspeed Charactereistic Fine + temperature + pressure + humidity + direction CORRELATION FACTOR! Wind basics - Patra,

83 Upscaling The previously shown remote upscaling factor is defined by the energy production of a time period. Applying the Hellmann equation (1) for the same tower (height 33 m, measurements height 10 m), the exponent is 0,445, that is a good experimental result. Wind basics - Patra,

84 Remote scaling Wind basics - Patra,

85 Conclusion It is not possible to retrieve the vendor given stationary winds speed generation characteristics of the wind turbine based on the real-time measurements. The calculations above show that for real-time generation forecast purposes only close measurement/estimation points could be used. The wind forecasts work on worldwide global models, these are theoretically not capable of forecasting local turbulences which cause the 0,5-5 min deviations in the power output. In spite of this fact, based on further measurements quite good energy production estimations can be done. We used the cumulative distribution function to define the ratio between remote wind speed measurement and the possible local wind speed at the turbine. Wind basics - Patra,

86 Thanks for the attention! Wind basics - Patra,
