Steered LIDAR Resource Performance and Condition Monitoring For Optimising Offshore Wind Infrastructure

该项目旨在将一种新的激光雷达系统从现场演示器的建造到风力发电场的安装和海洋加固的环境测试。正在开发的可编程扫描激光雷达将带来激光雷达测量能力的一步变化，使风电场运营商能够真正了解击中其涡轮机的风廓线，而不是被不具代表性的轮毂高度测量所忽略。将采取一些创新步骤，以提高准确性和能力。这将使农场的总产量能够提前几秒到几分钟预测，从而实现真正灵活的网格资源规划。该系统还将通过降低基础设施故障率来节省费用。这将通过增强状态监测系统来实现，并详细绘制入射风矢量场。作为一个额外的奖金，该系统将突出偏航失准。该系统将辅助风力涡轮机参数调整，使得风力涡轮机可以像赛车一样设置用于相关操作条件。

This project seeks to take a new LIDAR system from construction of field demonstrator through to installation on wind farm and environmental test for marine ruggedisation. The programmable scanning LIDAR under development will bring a step change in LIDAR measurement capability and enable wind farm operators to really know the wind profile that is hitting their turbine, rather than being kept ignorant by unrepresentative hub height measurements. A number of innovative steps will be employed in order to improve accuracy and capability. This will enable the total farm output to be forecast from seconds to minutes ahead, thus enabling truly flexible grid resource planning. The system will also offer savings by reducing infrastructure failure rates. This will be achieved by augmenting condition monitoring systems with detailed mapping of the incident wind vector field. As an added bonus the system will highlight yaw misalignment. The system will assist wind turbine parameter tuning so that wind turbine may be set up like a race car for the relevant operating conditions.
