A 3-year database of atmospheric measurements combined with associated operating parameters from a wind farm of 2 MW turbines including rotor geometry

Abstract

A comprehensive meteorological data set from an operational wind farm, consisting of six 2 MW turbines, has been made available. A meteorological mast, equipped with sonic anemometers at four different heights, was installed at the center of the farm and has collected data over 3 years. The data set is further supplemented with radiometer measurements for atmospheric stability analysis. Simultaneously, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) data were acquired to provide operational information about the wind turbines, including inter alia power production and wind direction. Additionally, the turbine blades were scanned to support aerodynamic simulations. This unique and comprehensive database has been made accessible to the research community through the AERIS platform.
