• Power curve function not only of horizontal wind speed P(ws).
• Other parameters influence the performance:– Wind shear, turbulence, …
• Some of these parameters depend on atmospheric stability.• The influence of wind shear and seasonality on power curve
has been investigated.• Experimental works: Power curve tests at different sites
have been carried out, including wind shear assessment.• The influence of wind shear and seasonality on AEP results
is assessed.• Lidar has been evaluated as complementary equipment for
power curve tests.

Similar AEP differences for three sites.Influence of wind shear on power curve is similar.

EXPERIMENT
Results:
• Better power performance for lower α: Category 1.• Similar differences in AEP for three sites.• Similar results for different turbine sizes.• Wind Shear not the only cause of seasonal AEP differences.

LIDAR MEASUREMENTS
• Validation of measurements (wind speeds, wind profile).• Filtering criteria development.• Assessment of results.
The measurement plan at Site 3 includes:

LIDAR MEASUREMENTS
• Many uncorrelated data => lidar filtering necessary.
Validation of measurements:

LIDAR MEASUREMENTS
• High correlation of wind speeds (lidar-mast).• Slope aprox. 1• Same wind shear results,
But• Low data availability.

CONCLUSIONS
• Wind shear influences the power curve, • For the same hub height average wind speed,
AEP is lower for big α values.• Wind shear variations can be found at test sites:
by sector, by season, then:• Measurements of wind shear shall be included in the tests.
• Lidar measurements can be helpful, but lidar valid data availability need to be improved.• Site specific power curves are needed for wind resource assessment.

CONSIDERATION
Power curve is used as a wind turbine performance characteristic. The improvements in the Power curve concept need to be consistent with the wind resource assessment practices: measurements, wind field models, wake models.
