Abstract
Full scale wind speed measurements, recorded inside the wake of an operating 2MW/80m wind turbine,has been performed during the spring 2009, as part of the EU-TOPFARM project. Longitudinal wind speeds in wake cross sections are measured with a LiDAR system mounted in the rear of the nacelle. The experimental setup, the amount of data, preliminary analysis and limitations of using LIDAR measurements to identify the wake dynamics will be presented. Resolving the wake in the meandering frame of reference further allows for identification of the wake characteristics both in terms of wake deficit and wake turbulence.
