Abstract

Accurate determination of wind turbine performance is necessary for economic operation of a wind farm. We propose modifications to the basic polynomial method to take account of distance between the meteorological mast and the wind turbine and also the complexity of the terrain. The methods are evaluated using data from operational wind farms and the methods are compared to a modified IEC 61400-12 bin method.
