4 FAQs about Wind turbine power generation capacity verification

How can we accurately predict turbine power performance?

Correctly predicting turbine power performance requires models to be validated for a wide range of wind turbines using inflow in different locations. The Share-3 exercise is the most recent intelligence-sharing exercise of the Power Curve Working Group, which aims to advance the modeling of turbine performance.

How do Wind Turbines perform power performance tests?

The wind energy industry performs power performance tests on wind turbines to test the site-specific power produc-tion of wind turbines by calculating the difference between the power predicted by the reference power curve (often pro-vided by the turbine manufacturers) and actual power pro-duction at different wind speeds.

Why do wind turbines weigh more than LWS?

Because wind turbines produce more power at higher wind speeds, the energy fraction accounts for the shape of the power curve and weighs heavier toward HWS than LWS.

How does wind turbine power production differ from the reference power curve?

Wind turbine power production deviates from the reference power curve in real-world atmospheric conditions. Correctly predicting turbine power performance requires models to be validated for a wide range of wind turbines using inflow in different locations.
