LiDAR Application for Wind Energy Efficiency, Final report

ECN with its partners TU Delft, Avent LiDAr Technologies and XEMC Darwind executed the four-year TKI Wind op Zee project LAWINE (LiDAr Application for WInd Energy Efficiency). In this project the application of LiDAR technology has been developed and validated so that it can be used to improve the operation of offshore wind farms with the goal...

Extreme loads using measured and calculated responses for offshore applications

An extreme load extrapolation is performed using calculated and measured loads from one of the research turbines at the ECN Wind turbine Test site Wieringermeer (EWTW). The extreme loads are extrapolated using two different approaches: - The method based on unconstrained 10-minute time series - The constrained wind simulation method For the...
