SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VALIDATING WIND FARM PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for validating and/or identifying wind farm performance measurements so as to optimize wind farm performance. The method includes measuring operating data from one or more wind turbines of the farm. Another step includes generating a plurality of baseline models of performance of the wind farm from at least a portion of the operating data. Thus, each of the baseline models of performance is developed from a different portion of operating data so as to provide comparable models. The method also includes selecting an optimal baseline model and comparing the optimal baseline model with actual performance of the wind farm. In a particular embodiment, the actual performance of the wind farm is determined after one or more wind turbines of the wind farm is modified by one or more upgrades.

1. A method for validating one or more wind farm performance measurements produced by one or more upgrades, the method comprising:
measuring operating data, via one or more sensors, from one or more wind turbines of a wind farm; generating, via a processor, a plurality of baseline models of performance of the wind farm from at least a portion of the operating data, wherein each of the baseline models of performance is developed from a different portion of operating data from one or more wind turbines of the wind farm; selecting, via the processor, an optimal baseline model of performance from the plurality of baseline models; and, comparing, via the processor, the optimal baseline model of performance and an actual performance of the wind farm, wherein the actual performance of the wind farm is determined after one or more wind turbines of the wind farm are modified by the one or more upgrades.
