      Wind velocity measurement devices based on the remote optical sensing, lidars, are extensively applied in wind energy research and wind farm operation. The present paper demonstrates the relevance and potential of lidar ...
    • Characterisation of Single Wind Turbine Wakes with Static and Scanning WINTWEX-W LiDAR Data 

      Kumer, Valerie-Marie; Reuder, Joachim; Svardal, Benny; Sætre, Camilla; Eecen, Peter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      With further development of LiDAR technology wake measurements by use of LiDAR became of common interest in the wind energy community. To study new measurement strategies of scanning and nacelle LiDARs, in combination with ...
    • Characterization of turbulence in wind turbine wakes under different stability  conditions from static Doppler LiDAR measurements 

      Kumer, Valerie-Marie; Reuder, Joachim; Eikill, Rannveig (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03-05)
      Wake characteristics are of great importance for wind park performance and turbine loads. While wind tunnel experiments provided a solid base for the basic understanding of the structure and dynamics of wind turbine wakes, ...
    • A Comparison of LiDAR and Radiosonde Wind Measurements 

      Kumer, Valerie-Marie; Reuder, Joachim; Furevik, Birgitte Rugaard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Doppler LiDAR measurements are already well established in the wind energy research and their accuracy has been tested against met mast data up to 100 m above ground. However, the new generation of scanning LiDAR have a ...
    • Proof of concept for wind turbine wake investigations with the RPAS SUMO 

      Reuder, Joachim; Båserud, Line; Kral, Stephan; Kumer, Valerie-Marie; Wagenaar, Jan Willem; Knauer, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09)
      The Small Unmanned Meteorological Observer (SUMO) has been operated in the vicinity of five research turbines of the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) at the test site Wieringermeer. The intention of the ...
    • Turbulent kinetic energy estimates from profiling wind LiDAR measurements and their potential for wind energy applications 

      Kumer, Valerie-Marie; Reuder, Joachim; Dorninger, Manfred; Zauner, Rudolf; Grubišić, Vanda (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07-10)
      This study shows that turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) estimates, derived from static LiDARs in Doppler Beam Swing (DBS) mode, permit a qualitative and quantitative characterization and analysis of turbulent structures as ...
