Met mast measurements of wind turbine wakes
bookPart
This chapter addresses met mast measurements for wind turbine wake research, where we tackle the matter by posing and answering three questions. By asking ourselves what the value is of met mast measurements for wake/aerodynamic research, we describe how met masts can be and have been used in aerodynamic research, accompanied by a number of illustrative examples. Second, we trigger the question how to obtain the highest quality in met mast measurements. In this respect, we have identified standardization in the measurement chain itself, the definition of success criteria and a good understanding between what is required on model side, and what is practically possible on the experiment side. Third, we wonder what have we learned from wind turbine wake measurements, where we describe in more detail some experiments, returning to the illustrative examples. These reflect upon quantifying power deficits of waked turbines, quantifying offshore wind farm wake effects and quantifying wake deflection of misaligned wind turbines.
