Systematic Wind Farm Measurement Data Filtering Tool for Wake Model Calibration

A set of systematic methods for characterizing the sensors of a wind farm and using these sensors to filter more accurately large volumes of measurement data is proposed. These methods are based on the experience accumulated while processing datasets from two large offshore wind farms in Denmark. Both wake model developers and wind farm operators seeking to determine how the wind farm operates under specific conditions can find these methods valuable. The methods are general and can be applied successfully to any wind farm by taking into consideration the specific aspects of each wind farm.
