Inflow angle and Energy Production Jørgen Højstrup Wind Solutions / Højstrup Wind Energy Power Curve Working Group, Louisville 6 October 2014

CONTENTS -Energy loss by non-zero inflow angle -Directional variation -Inflow angles and energy loss from real sites

Factors influencing Power Curve 1.Wind speed 2.Air density 3.Turbulence intensity 4.Directional variation 5.Inflow angle 6.Wind shear 7.Vertical wind veer

Inflow angle negligible? 1.Wind speed 2.Air density 3.Turbulence intensity 4.Directional variation 5.Inflow angle 6.Wind shear 7.Vertical wind veer

Inflow angle negligible? - For conventional IEC verification Expensive and difficult to erect masts in sloping terrain High uncertainty on site calibration -Most often you select turbines for PC verification in more benign terrain with small inflow angles -With Spinner Anemometer and LIDAR verification there are no practical problems in doing PC verification also in complex terrain.

Calculate Energy Loss Wind vector Component that generates energy Yaw error 15 deg yaw error AEP lost:

Yaw- (and inflow-) error => Lower Production

The “Usual” turbulence effect on power curve, but there is more...

Energy loss by directional variations

Average inflow angle (calculated) 15 recent sites, 270 turbines

Rotor not tilted: avg 0.5% energy lost

Rotor tilt 4 deg: avg 1.8% energy loss

Rotor tilt 6 deg: avg 2.8% energy loss

CONCLUSIONS Inflow angle can have significant influence on energy production Range 0 – 8 % Average 2.8 % for 6 deg rotor tilt
