Power Curve Verification Using Ground-Based and Nacelle-Mounted Remote Sensing Devices
A power curve measurement using remote sensing technology was performed in Uruguay after previous measurements had been completed by an independent laboratory, and the results showed that the measured power curve was considerably below the advertised one. The classification procedure of the ground-based lidar and the power curve results according to the IEC 61400-12-1 Ed. 2 standard are presented in this work.
