SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING FARM-LEVEL PERFORMANCE OF A WIND FARM

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for assessing farm-level performance of a wind farm 200. The method includes operating the wind farm 200 in a first operational mode and identifying one or more pairs 104 of wind turbines 202s having wake interaction. The method also includes generating a pairwise dataset for the wind turbines 202 pairs 104. Further, the method includes generating a first wake model 110 based on the pairwise dataset and predicting a first farm-level performance parameter 114 based on the first wake model 110. The method also includes operating the wind farm 200 in a second operational mode and collecting operational data during the second operational mode. Moreover, the method includes predicting a first farm-level performance parameter 114 for the second operational mode using the first wake model 110 and the operational data from the second operational mode. The method further includes determining a second farm-level performance parameter 116 during the second operational mode. Thus, the method includes determining a difference in the farm-level performance of the wind farm 200 as a function of the first and second farm-level performance parameters 114, 116.
