TP IV.2 Reconstruction of the dynamics of offshore wind farm clusters

A sub-project in Innovation Area IV – System-oriented integration and aerodynamics of offshore wind turbines and wind farms

Fluctuations in the wind flow, especially wind ramps, hinder the system-friendly operation of wind farms and electricity trading. Observer-based forecasts in the minute range can support their prediction.

High-resolution lidar wind measurements enable research into the prediction of local wind dynamics on shorter, high-frequency time scales. In this way, lag-induced yield losses and loads could be reduced and system services provided more precisely.
