Nowadays, the increasing environmental issues especially concerning the global warming
have motivated a run for the use of renewable energy sources. Wind energy represents a …

Doppler wind LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) makes use of the principle of optical
Doppler shift between the reference and backscattered radiations to measure radial …

The main challenges in harvesting energy from the wind arise from the unknown incoming
turbulent wind field. Balancing the competing interests of reduction in structural loads and …

This work presents the results from a field test of LIDAR assisted collective pitch control
using a scanning LIDAR device installed on the nacelle of a mid-scale research turbine. A …

IEA Wind Task 32 serves as an international platform for the research community and
industry to identify and mitigate barriers to the use of lidars in wind energy applications. The …

This article provides a comprehensive review of the most recent advances in the planning,
execution, and analysis of inflow and wake measurements from nacelle-mounted wind …

Gain-scheduling is a conventional approach for adjusting the wind turbine controller
performance against operating point variations in industrial applications. Although the …

Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) systems are able to measure the speed of incoming
wind before it reaches a wind turbine rotor. These preview wind measurements can be used …

Lidar systems installed on the nacelle of wind turbines can provide a preview of incoming
turbulent wind. Lidar-assisted control (LAC) allows the turbine controller to react to changes …

Lidar systems have the potential of alleviating structural loads on wind turbines by providing
a preview of the incoming wind field to the control system. For a collective pitch controller …
