Abstract
We demonstrate a method for incorporating wind measurements from multiple-point
scanning lidars into the turbulence fields serving as input to wind turbine load simulations. The
measurement values are included in the analysis by applying constraints to randomly generated
turbulence fields. A numerical study shows the application of the constrained turbulence method to
load simulations on a 10MW wind turbine model, using two example lidar patterns – a 5-point pattern
forming a square with a central point, and a circular one. Based on the results of this study, we assess
the influence of applying the proposed method on the statistical uncertainty in wind turbine extreme
and fatigue loads.
