Monitoring of wind farms’ power curves using machine learning techniques

Antonino Marvuglia and Antonio Messineo

Applied Energy, 2012, vol. 98, issue C, 574-583

Abstract: The estimation of a wind farm’s power curve, which links the wind speed to the power that is produced by the whole wind farm, is a challenging task because this relationship is nonlinear and bounded, in addition to being non-stationary due for example to changes in the site environment and seasonality. Even for a single wind turbine the measured power at different wind speeds is generally different than the rated power, since the operating conditions on site are generally different than the conditions under which the turbine was calibrated (the wind speed on site is not uniform horizontally across the face of the turbine; the vertical wind profile and the air density are different than during the calibration; the wind data available on site are not always measured at the height of the turbine’s hub).
